The most important job they have are as student reps during Welcome Week, where they handle all the engineering events and help first years get used to their new home at McMaster. They also participate in just about every MES event through the year, and can be seen handing out crackers during exam time, on buses to pub nights, volunteering at conferences and raising money for charity.
