VP Student Engagement MAM
Student engagement’s role is anything and everything to do with clubs! In addition to running events during the school year to introduce students to clubs (club night, early in the year) and help bring new club leads up to speed with the rules and resources of their role (transition night, at the end of the year), we also act as a point-of-first-contact for club-related inquiries from all students, and participate in the funding process for club initiatives in conjunction with VP Finance. As the MAM-counterpart of this portfolio, my role is also somewhat unique in that I have regular contact with MAM faculty and leadership to provide student feedback and voice concerns within our academy along with VP MAM.

About Me
Hi everybody! My name is Ally and I am excited to start my role on the VP Student Engagement team for MAM. I decided to apply to this position to support you all in finding opportunities meaningful to you, and making them as easy to access as possible. I am especially passionate about anything that will enhance your experience with the facilities, club and opportunities scene at MAM and beyond. My plan is to work closely with the downtown student engagement team, the MAM leadership team, and also with all of you to act as a liaison in incorporating your feedback/ideas into student life here. I love hearing about the cool opportunities and events that all of you are participating in, and am excited to be working with everyone for the next two years!
Year Plans and Goals
1) Collaborate with VP Student Engagement St. George and other MedSoc members to ensure that MAMers have equal access to participate in extracurricular activities. My primary goal is to increase the accessibility of club events or opportunities to MAM students.
2) Liaise with the student council and also MAM leadership to centralize the promotion of opportunities and events. This will hopefully make it easier for people to find opportunities that they are interested in, and not miss important events or dates.
3) Work with VP MAM and the VP Student Affairs to ensure equal access to funding and to enhance the voices of MAMers in the maintenance of MAM facilities.
