Senator

The Senators have minimal responsibilities within the structure of the Engineering Society itself. The majority of a Senator’s work is done outside of the Society within the University administration, and they make important decisions that impact the entire University as a whole. The Junior Senator has positions on the University Senate, Student Senate Caucus, the Applied Science Faculty Board and EngSoc Council as well. The Senators are free to vote as they please on issues that they face.
