The '''''EUS President''''' is the official spokesperson of the EUS and Chair of the [[Executive Committee]]. The position demands someone with good communication and management skills, patience, and the ability to think on their feet. The president’s responsibilities are to represent the engineering students in communicating with administration, media, faculty, industry, etc., as well as chairing the weekly meetings of the 8 executives, and overseeing both the [[EUS Equity]] and [[Elections EUS]] Committees. On the business side of the EUS, the president is the general manager and is responsible for legal aspects of the company, such as dealing with contracts and any legal issues that (hopefully won’t) arise.

As President, my primary role is to represent Engineering students to the Engineering Faculty and McGill Administration. That involves tons of unexciting yet highly important meetings, taking up a huge chunk of my schedule. If you are interested in student advocacy, feel free to contact me! The more exciting part of the presidency resolve around three major topics: Equity, Sustainability and Mental Health. These important social matters are addressed by well-established committees and I would encourage you to attend their numerous cool events. Being president is also about leading a team and the seven amazing individuals that form the exec committee are the best colleagues/friends/second family one can hope for. Their experience, dedication and hard work will ensure that you have the time of your life this year!

If you haven’t done so already, I hope that you will find an involvement opportunity that suits your needs, giving you the chance to excel and shine.

One of the main pre-requisites to becoming EUS President is having a solid understanding of the structure and procedures within the EUS. While there are many ways to learn about the EUS, the most common ways to gain experience are by actively participating in:

All of these positions have opportunities to take on a leadership role, which is another important characteristic of a President.

EUS Council and the Board of Governors meetings are open and anyone is allowed to attend. Sitting in on a few of these meetings can give a lot of insight to how the EUS operates internally. Common positions to hold before running for President are any of the EUS Executive Portfolios or a year as Departmental President. These positions often require some experience in any of the above mentioned involvement opportunities but can feel like a natural progression when you find a group that ignites your passion for extracurricular student life in the EUS.
