Accomplishments
- SEAS Calendar - Regularly update the SEAS-wide Google Calendar which students can subscribe to, with upcoming events and opportunities for undergraduate engineering students. Reached out to student clubs on campus to include their events on the calendar.
- SEAS Flash - Make fun newsletter style videos to advertise upcoming events and opportunities for undergraduate engineering students to increase SEAS student representation and presence at these events.
- Website - Developed a new ESC website to include institutional memory, include updated information about council initiatives and meeting times, include meeting minutes and livestream of general body meetings, include methods of contacting members of council, and showcase what council is working on.
- Social Media - Regularly update social media with new events, opportunities, statements, pictures of events hosted, as well as wellness tips. Increased social media following. Quickly respond to messages sent to social media pages.
- Peer Mentorship Program - Spearheaded and expanded ESC Peer Mentorship Program by over 120%, where underclassmen and upperclassmen in the same major are paired to receive guidance. Hosted a celebration for all mentors and mentees to meet and mingle, as well as receive feedback about the program. Creating a question sheet for mentors and mentees to guide their conversations. Advocated for funding for the program to help increase communication and improve relationships among mentors and mentees.
- WikiCU - Kept information as updated/accurate as possible on WikiCU for the general student body to access as an informal info-route (created by students, for students).
- Council Meetings - Thoroughly annotate agenda to represent council’s ideas and initiatives. Livestream general body meetings with agenda projected in the background, which can be found on Facebook and website. Meeting minutes available on website.
- Schedule a Chat with ESC - Created a Google Form to give the student body a way to schedule a meeting/meet-up with a member(s) of ESC to discuss initiatives, policies, or concerns they may have. This makes ESC more approachable, as well as a resource to students. This form is checked regularly to schedule the requested meeting as soon as possible.
- Suggestion Box - Regularly check Suggestion Box Google Form where the student body can provide the council with feedback. This link is displayed on the website, SEAS Flash video descriptions, and there is a “Feedback Friday” theme on ESC’s Instagram to serve the same purpose.
