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.
