2022-2023 COUNCIL

Santiago Aguilar

President

Hey everyone! My name is Santiago Aguilar and I am a third year mechie with a minor in Mechatronics. In my eyes, MESS has been the ideal place to grow academically, proffesional, and socially alongside other mechanical engineering students. The plan for this year, is not only to keep this going, but too bring it to the next level. More opportunities. More social mixers. More academic help. You do not want to miss out.

Annemarie Summers

VP Communications

Hey hunnies, Annie here <3 

I'm your VP Comms this year but that's not all you'll see me up to. When I'm not madly into Formula 1, you can catch me in the mountains, flying glider plans, skiing, or into whatever else gets my hands dirty. 9/10 times I'm running around campus with a pair of headphones and coffee in hand so feel free to sauce a wave if you see me! xoxo
