Omar Sayyed • prez@western-ues.comI'm super passionate about student advocacy and governance, having previously been your AVP Advocacy, Charity commissioner, and USC Engineering Councillor. I'm also a huge fan of external orgs like ESSCO which I was the VP Advocacy for last year, and the CFES, which I'm currently chairing the Conference on Diversity in Engineering 2024 for!

If you're ever curious about anything related to getting involved, or want to discuss any concerns related to Western Engineering, please feel free to stop by my office in the UES lounge, or contact me to set up a meeting, I love having these conversations!

Hi everyone! My name is Eesha and I’m in my fourth year of Chemical Eng and AISE. I am your VP Advocacy for UES this year.

VP ACADEMIC
Edmund Co • academic@western-ues.comHey stalkers, you can call me Edmund/Eddy/Ed. I'm your VP Academic this year, I basically deal with everything involving academics rights and fairness, year reps, and making your educational journey just a tad easier. Outside of school, I'm an artist and amateur photographer. Fun Fact: I was born in Victoria Hospital and then during one summer in ninth grade, I was visiting London and fell into an anaphylactic shock. I landed in the same hospital so if I were to die that day, my net displacement would be zero.
VP EXTERNAL
Josh Lee • external@western-ues.com
Hey! I'm Josh, your VP External. I'm in my 4th year at Western but second year in tron + biomed (I did a funky thing and transferred from majoring in Health Sci/Bio for 2 years). I'm responsible for repping Western at the provincial and national engineering student conferences, as well as selecting other UWO Eng students to come along with me. I love dancing and playing piano on the side. If you got any questions about conferences or eng/western stuff in general hmu! You can reach me at my Instagram @joshua.y.lee
