2023-24 Council

Year Reps - Coming Soon

What Do Year Reps Do?

1. Attend UES Council Meetings These typically occur biweekly, and they go over any exec updates (ex. Budget changes, meetings with the Dean), changes to the UES bylaws/constitution, and are used to get a sense of the general engineering population's opinions on new ideas for the council.

2. Communicate to Faculty When you have a question regarding academic policy, your Year Rep will likely have the answer as they can easily reach out to the VP Academic, who can direct them to the proper documentation. They may also speak to professors on the behalf of the entire class, so that the prof/TA etc. isn't bombarded with the same questions and concerns over and over again.

3. Spread the word about UES events. If you are going to follow anyone in your class on social media, they're probably a good choice. They help let everyone know about fun events and conferences that the UES holds, which is especially helpful for those with deadlines for tickets/applications.

How Do You Become A Year Rep?

Follow the UES Instagram @westernues, where all info related to elections will be posted, likely late September. If you're in first year, you will need to nominate yourself and have a couple of other engineering students recommend you. Then all information will be sent to your email about how the campaign period + election day works. Many of the UES Exec team began their involvement as a Year Rep, as it's an easy and fun way to be introduced into the engineering community, without too much time commitment.
