EngSoc Elections: Adelle Vickery (President)

Hey engineers! My name is Adelle Vickery and I want to be your next Engineering Society President. The President is the face and voice of the Society and is ultimately responsible for determining its overall direction. If elected, I have many ideas to improve the three main pillars of the Society: services, events, and representation.

For services, my main idea is to implement a Mental Health Awareness Week; the goal would be to allow students to engage in activities that will help relieve stress and provide a safe space to discuss mental health and mental health services across campus.

For events, I would like to expand Education Outreach to include informing and promoting engineering to highschool students, increase and improve advertising, expand the marketing team, hold more inter-faculty events, and de-clutter the EngSoc calendar.

For representation, I would like to increase collaboration between the two societies and better align the way we run. This will allow the man-power of both Executive teams to be combined to implement more new initiatives.

I have been actively involved in EngSoc, holding multiple large roles during my time here. I recently took over the role of VP Internal, coordinating directors and commissioners and overseeing Society events and services. I have been both Student Life Commissioner and Student Services Commissioner. Aside from this, I am also a member of the Executive Review Committee, I directed Semi-Formal and EngPlay, and I have been a volunteer at Orientation Week, Fall and Spring Open House, and Canada Day. This experience and my enthusiasm and passion for EngSoc make me the ideal candidate to serve you as President.

Thank you so much for reading my platform and getting informed before voting! If you want to see some of my other ideas, learn more about my experience, or if you have any questions, comments or suggestions, visit my website bit.ly/adelleforpresident !
