| THE DO’S
AND THE DOANS: After a summer working in a
health clinic in South Africa, BioE senior Ryan Doan is getting
used to his role as EJC president. He says he wants the organization
to be more interactive this year. |
New Engineers’
Joint Council president Ryan Doan wants true democracy to rule the organization
Engineers may be a shy bunch,
but new EJC president and BioE senior Ryan Doan is urging them to speak
up.
“I want to find out what interests engineers have and I want to
make the EJC more of a forum for discussion. We don’t want to be
a body that gives orders and tells societies what to do, we want to
listen and be interactive,” he says.
Last semester the EJC took on a new shape that reflects their commitment
to democracy. Various committees were set up to deal with issues such
as budgeting, facilities and outreach. (The facilities committee is
in charge of renovating 220 Bechtel with money anonymously donated a
few years back.)
During EJC general meetings the committees give reports to representatives
from participating student societies.
This year the EJC wants to put on workshops such as Powerpoint training
for engineers. But before they earmark that money, they want to find
out from engineers what kind of programming would serve them best. To
put in your two cents, e-mail Doan at president@ejc.berkeley.edu.
