Vice President Internal Affairs

  • About Us

    Hey, I'm Chelsea! I’m currently a 2nd year electrical engineering student. I have been a clubroom coordinator throughout my entire second year, and during that time I have seen firsthand the positive impact the clubroom has had on both my own experience and the experiences of many others. Because of this, I have become genuinely invested in the clubroom and am very interested in the VP internal role, as I would love to help preserve its welcoming atmosphere and continue shaping it into a space that students enjoy being a part of! Outside of my role as clubroom coordinator, I also loved being involved in GEER week, where I got to experience the sense of community that comes from people working together to create something grand. Some of my interests include reading, taking care of plants and enjoying the outdoors. I also love meeting new people and learning about their experiences and perspectives, which is one of the reasons I was drawn to this club and enjoyed being part of it so much.


    Hi, I’m Priyo Datta, and I am eager to run for VP Internal next year. I am currently in my second year of electrical engineering, and a member of the EE Club. I’m an Events Coordinator as well as a Clubroom Coordinator. As a Junior Executive of the club, I have been involved with planning, and hosting the JeopardEE night earlier this semester. I have also spent plenty of time in the clubroom where I have seen the community grow and connect. I would love to be the next VP Internal to play a larger role in this club and make sure members always have a place to chill and decompress. Outside of school, you may catch me playing basketball at VVC, working out, listening to/making music, or hanging out with friends.


    Main Points


    • Making sure the Clubroom is a welcoming/safe space for everyone


    • Decorating the clubroom seasonally to help create a welcoming atmosphere and celebrate the different festivities throughout the year


    • Regularly stocking up on top tier snacks and drinks based on members suggestions


    • Ensuring Clubroom Coordinators have shifts that accommodate to their schedules and needs


    • Ensuring that lockers and locks are distributed in an organized, fair manner



    Vote for us for awesome snacks!


  • About Us

    Thea I am a second-year Electrical Engineering student who has been a member of the EE club since Fall 2025. Outside of school, I like to dance, play volleyball, and hang out with friends! I’ve experienced firsthand how important it is to have a strong community in this degree and want to be a part of helping to create that for other students! I hope to be a part of the executive team for the upcoming year to contribute to a more organized, connected, and welcoming club experience.

    Anastasia Like Thea, I am also a second-year Electrical Engineering student. I love painting, swimming, and trying new things. Being part of electrical engineering has shown me how important it is to feel connected and supported, especially in a challenging degree. As VP Internal, I hope to improve organization, communication, and accessibility within the club so that all members feel included and aware of opportunities.

    Our Platform

    We are passionate about building a stronger, more connected EE community where students feel supported academically, professionally, and socially. We are focused on organization, communication, and community engagement, making sure the club runs smoothly behind the scenes!

    • Maintain organized meeting agendas and accessible meeting notes.

    • Create centralized internal resources so information is easy to find.

    • Ensure members know about opportunities, events, and decisions.

    • Create structured channels for ideas and feedback so they reach the executive team quickly.

    2. Better Member Engagement

    • Encourage participation from students in all years.

    • Help second-year EE students integrate into the community.

    3. Organized and Efficient Club Operations

    • Keep internal documentation organized and up to date.

    • Improve executive transition resources to support future exec teams.

    • Streamline planning processes for events and initiatives.

Vice President Communication

  • About Riley

    My name is Riley Reese. I’m in my second year of electrical engineering. I work on hobby programming projects in my free time, I ski every winter, and I love to play piano – though I’m not any good.

    I am running for VP Communications with Malik because I want to give back to the club and the engineering student body in general. As a Junior Executive for student life, I’ve gotten to know the club and its members well over the past two semesters.

    Although I’m already very involved with the club as a Jr. Exec, I would love an opportunity to work for the club even more by undertaking a vice presidency. I think Malik and I can make a real difference for the club and its members.


    About Malik

    My name is Malik Goa, I'm in my third year of electrical engineering currently on an eight month work term. Outside of academics, I enjoy spending time outdoors, especially hiking, mountain biking, fishing, and snowboarding.

    I am running for VP Communications because I want to continue being actively involved in the club. In my second year, I served as a Junior Executive and was honored to receive Junior Exec of the Year. This year, I was Co-VP of Academics and Services, where I helped make review sessions and host EECERT.

    I’ve truly enjoyed my experience in the club so far and would love the opportunity to continue contributing in a new role.


    Platform

    We are running on three attainable, popular, and common-sense points. They are as follows:


    1. The Website

    • We will overhaul the website. In its current state, the website is full of incomplete, outdated, and incorrect information. We will upload more recent photos and update information regarding the team.

    • We will consistently update the website. The website is an underutilized resource for advertising and informing fellow electrical engineers about club events. The website’s calendar and events sections haven’t been updated in years. We will coordinate with the President and Student Life to provide consistent updates to the calendar. We will update the website with information regarding planned events as early as possible.

    • We will reduce expenses by hosting the website ourselves. Currently, the club spends almost $300 on website hosting through Squarespace. By hosting in-house, we will only need to pay the upfront cost of a host server and $20 - $30 a year for the domain name.


    2. The Newsletter

    • We will roll out a club newsletter. Working in tandem with the rest of the club’s social media, the newsletter will be another avenue with which we can inform anyone interested about club events and affairs.

    • There has been a genuine interest within the club in trialing a newsletter to determine its feasibility. Despite this, there has been no serious effort in recent years to provide an informative, frequent, and well advertised newsletter. The club may be missing out on an important method of communication with its members and the student body.

    3. Advertisements

    • We will coordinate with student life to begin advertising events as early as possible. We will update ourselves on events planned by student life, and start to advertise those events as soon as venues are booked and dates confirmed.

    • We will update the club's social media, including the club instagram, facebook, and discord, with information regarding club affairs and events.


    Vote Malik Goa and Riley Reese for VP Communications!


  • About Us

    • Duru: Second-year EE student, violinist, headed to Vienna for an internship summer ‘26, coffee machine enthusiast.

    • Danica: Second-year EE student, level STAR 3 figure skater, preparing for a half-marathon, victim to Duru’s coffee experiments.

    Why Us

    • Danica: I worked as VP of Communications and Outreach for the SandBox Student Cooperative for the 25/26 school year. As a Mentor for incoming engineering students in the FEM+ Mentorship Program, I have further developed my communication and leadership skills.

    • Duru: I worked for COTY under communications, running the social media presence of 3 stores all through high school. I’m also a mentor in FEM+, and as part of my role there, I’ve become very comfortable communicating with first-year hopefuls and other mentors alike.

    Goals for 26-27

    1. Curate EE’s social media presence to increase visibility of events, flyers, and upcoming club activities.

    • Elevate networking opportunities to both increase turnout for the events and better the EE student’s career opportunities.

    • Get students more involved in GEER week, like polls on what to serve at pancake breakfast, or the mixology recipes, etc.

    2. Successfully advertise and drive engagement in a way that elevates the club.

    • Create posts that EE students would want to repost.

    • Have clear, well-managed channels on Discord.

    • Increase posters and work on placement (NREF instead of the basement of ETLC, for example).

    3. Engage first years coming into EE by creating a polished page to strengthen the club's image and branding.

    • Coordinate colour palettes, emblems, etc., the whole year; make EE the recognizable table at first-year nights.

    • Work on making EE a more close-knit community by creating a wider range of content: both humorous and informative.

    4. Open up communications to feedback from the EE students.

    • Make it easy for the students to reach us (like an open anonymous portal for feedback).

    • Involve the students in communications as well (like polls to choose which design to pick, which events and themes to do, etc.).

    When we say ‘etc...’ we mean:

    • Make the GEER week activities easy to track and more inclusive.

    • Match Reddit-level activity after exams; build a community and not just another club page.

    • Let students send in compliments to the profs, TAs, and students that make EE easy and fun, and feature these on the page.

    • Make our page a way to access the EE club itself so students can tell us what they want to see from us—encourage open communication.

    • Interact with other EE communities to broaden networking opportunities.

  • Hello Electrical Engineering students!

    My name is Asadullah Khan, and I’m running for VP Communications of the Electrical Engineering Club!

    About Me

    • Currently: A second-year EE student.

    • Current Role: Club Room Coordinator for the EE Club.

    • Interests: I love Chiikawa more than life itself.

    • Values: I try being as open as possible, whenever possible.

    My Goal

    My main goal for next year is to get people engaged with the club—whether that means coming to events, joining the team, or even just being aware of what the club has to offer.

    The Method

    Here is how I plan to make that happen:

    • Instagram Announcements:

      • Static Announcements: E-posters showcasing exactly what we are currently doing.

      • Acted Announcements: Fun skits that actively advertise our club’s events.

    • Physical Posters: Post more physical posters for events around campus, making sure we reach the EE students who do not follow the club's social media pages.

    • Active Monthly Newsletter: Start a direct newsletter. Some students actively avoid social media, so this allows us to skip the middleman and deliver updates straight to you.

    • Casual Content: Post more fun, relaxed content on the Instagram account (e.g., memes and other relatable posts).

    • Consistent Advertising: Maintain a reliable and predictable advertising schedule.

    • GEER Week Involvement: Be actively involved in capturing GEER Week events, allowing our students to feel proud of our discipline on the feed.

    Thank you for reading my platform! I look forward to serving you all in the future.

    EE Flux! (Get it, that was a reference to... Oh, never mind.)
