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. | |||

EUS Presidents' Meeting | ==How to Get Involved== | ||
Monthly meeting with MESC Director | 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: | ||
Brown Bag meeting with the Dean | * Committees | ||
* Clubs | |||
= | * Design Teams | ||
* EUS Services | |||
* Departmental Student Societies | |||
* EUS Council | |||
Design | * Board of Governors | ||
All of these positions have opportunities to take on a leadership role, which is another important characteristic of a President. Chairing a committee, being president of a club, a captain of a design team, a service manager, or a president of a departmental society are all great ways to learn how to effectively manage a group while learning more about the EUS. | |||
There is so much to learn about the EUS that it is very rare that you will know everything but the more you can learn the better you will be able to start off as 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. | |||
