UMEC Presentation (5 minutes)
UMEC (University of Michigan's Engineering Council) is the student
government for engineers at the University of Michigan. We ensure that
students have a voice on campus, whether they have a concern or they
would like to join one of our committees. Our responsibilities range from
providing funding for student groups to putting on Springfest. We hold
monthly meetings that anyone is welcomed to attend and participate.
These meetings determine what UMEC should focus on, as well as give
groups a chance to announce anything to those in attendance.
