Hey everyone!! My name is Eesha and I am your UES President for this year! I am in my 5th year of Chemical Eng and AISE and I am SO excited for you all to see everything we have planned for 2025/2026.

Fourth Year, Mechatronic Systems + AISE
Hey everyone! My name is Raymond but most of you probably know me by a different name... I'm in 4th year of Mechatronics and AISE and I'm your VP Academic for this year. Basically I deal with profs and faculty as well as the year reps that are elected. My goal is to make your student academic experience as smooth as possible in the chaotic nature of eng! Outside of engineering, you'll probably see me playing chess or biking around.
If you have any academic related questions feel free to contact me.

Fifth Year, Civil + AISE
Hey I’m Edmund, and I’m extremely excited to be your VP Communications this year! I take care of everything about how information reaches to you, whether it’s through this website, our Instagram, chalkboard signs and posters in the hallway, or your inbox. I have had the honor to see how the UES has evolved over the past 5 years through serving as a New Building Committee marketer, Marketing Commissioner, AISE year rep, and VP Academic!
Looking forward to spice up engineering with some art and creativity. Over the summer, I’ve led a team to paint a mural!
Stay safe and stay sane.
