'''''Junior Council''''' is a committee under the EUS, consisting of twenty-two first year engineering students and two second year Co-Presidents. Its goal is to unite first-year engineering students through both social and academic events. Junior Council also provides a link between new students and the engineering community, and promotes other opportunities for first years.
'''''Junior Council''''' is a committee in the Engineering Undergraduate Society (EUS), composed of seventeen VP and Representative positions for first-year engineering students, and two second-year Co-Presidents. From club nights to networking events, JC is fundamental in creating the tight-knit community amongst first years in the EUS.

== Main Events  ==
===Back To School Apartment Crawl===


This full day conference aims to promote the numerous opportunities available to engineers after graduating with their degree. The day consists of two speakers, departmental panels (electrical, computer and software, mechanical, chemical, civil (and architecture), mining and materials) and professional development workshops. This year, the departmental panels consisted of 3-5 industry professionals, professors and past interns who shared their story and answered any questions students had. The workshops this year were resume building, “Sell Yourself” (how to present yourself to a potential employer), networking, and leadership.
The JC apartment crawl is the best of the year. Hosted the first weekend after school starts in September, you'll get the chance to spend the night with your friends (or sign up as a free agent!) and get led around the streets of the McGill ghetto by the world's finest tour guides (past JC members). Get introduced to the rowdiness of the EUS, learn our chants, and hear more about JC and why you should apply!!

===Ice Cream Social===
===Ice Cream Social===


Free frostbite ice cream and hot chocolate are given out in the Engineering Common Room to introduce first year students to Junior Council. Council members and popular U0 professors are there to get to know students.
Free [[Frostbite]] ice cream is given out to introduce first year students to the members of JC and get to know what JC does! This is a social you do not want to miss.  


===Design Competition===
===Therapy Dogs===


Hosted in collaboration with MEC, the Junior Design Competition is an event run in the winter semester which is open to students who have finished 60 credits or less. In teams of four, participants are asked to solve a problem using basic engineering skills. Teams are given specific materials that they are required to incorporate into their designs. Team evaluations are based on the quality of the prototype as well as the quality of their presentation.
At the end of each semester, JC hosts a chill event where we have tea, snacks, and most importantly, therapy dogs! This event is meant to help students destress before exams start and is always a wholesome time.


===Prep Sessions===
===Networking Conference===


[[File:Prep_session.jpg|thumb|right|330px|MATH 133 Prep Session]]
First year students often have a tough time learning to network and start pursuing a career. That's why every year, JC hosts a networking conference with talks from alumni, industry professionals, and experts from the [[Engineering Career Centre]].
[[File:Junior Council Cactus Sale!.jpg|thumb|207x207px|Our Annual Cactus Sale (cute cacti, cuter people)!]]


Prep sessions are organized before midterms and finals for first-year and second-year courses. They are led by TAs or EPTS tutors and aim to help students prepare for exams.
===Power Hour===


===Beverage Pong Tournament===
Power Hour is an event that consists of participants drinking a shot of their drink every minute for one hour. It's an iconic JC event that you don't want to miss, with a super-fun theme every semester! All engineers and friendgineers are welcome!


Held annually after the PHYS 131 midterm, teams of two compete in a bracket style water pong tournament for several grand prizes.
===Other Events===


===Power Hour===
In the past, Junior Council has hosted a wide variety of events including first year banquet, Bob Ross paint night, beverage pong tournaments, pumpkin carving and our iconic cactus sale.


Power Hour is an event that consists in participants drinking a shot of their drink every minute for one hour. This event typically takes place at Cafe Campus in February, before Spring Break.
