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 everyone, my name is Harneet and I am excited to be a part of the VP Student Engagement team where I am holding the senior position for MAM. I'm passionate about advocacy that enhances the scholastic and personal experiences of students. It is always inspiring to learn about the extracurricular initiatives fellow medical students start so I am excited to work with the team to promote and encourage extracurricular programming.
1. Collaborate with VP Finance and other portfolios (such as VP EDI, and others interested in participating), to assess and adjudicate funding applications from equity seeking internal & community affairs clubs
2. Increase promotion of extra-curricular programing among the MAM student body. Make students aware of the option to participate in in-person meetings via videoconferencing and of the requirement for clubs to have MAM equivalent events.
3. Liaise and communicate with prospective club leads to create detailed and comprehensive club proposals which will help guide the initial stages of club development.
