The AGM is at 18:30 and we will hopefully be starting the movie at around 19:00. We hihly recommend going to the AGM as it will allow you to not only run for positions but also vote for who you want to be in charge of the society. Join us, there will be pizza, popcorn, and soft drinks!

Open positions:

  • Vice President: main help for our president, will be in charge of minutes and scheduling and will overall help out with most of the other positions. Perfect for anyone very invested in the society who has a lot of ideas on where it could go.
  • Public Relations Officer: will be in charge of the instagram and making the posts/stories for that, as well as helping our president keep members of the society informed about our events. Best suited for any creative person looking to have a cool project to work on! (great for your cv/portfolio).
  • Treasurer: will be on the bank mandate and will be in charge of uploading the receipts to the MULife page and tracking our budget and expenses. Ideal for anyone interested in finances and numbers as well as organization and planning.
  • Events Officer(s): may be a single person or more if there is interest. Will help out with the set up of events, making powerpoints, quizzes and anything related to our meetings and special events. Great for people who are a bit more busy throughout the year but still want to be involved in the society and help out with organizational tid bits.
  • 1st year rep: will be in charge of representing the society to first years. A good introductory position to go for as it allows you to do a bit of everything.
