Jennifer Pelletier, Advising, Recruitment and Senior Program Assistant for Mechanical Engineering has been chosen to be the honorary president of the EUS for the 2009/2010 school year. This is the first time that a staff member has been selected to hold this position, and this honor recognizes Jennifer’s tireless efforts to support students in Mechanical Engineering, and more broadly in Applied Science, in navigating their engineering studies. She is responsible for major improvements in department information, support, and recruiting activities that have vastly improved the student experience. Jennifer is legendary for her encyclopedic knowledge of available classrooms, course conflicts and alternatives, work arounds, and her ability to maximize resources to put on top notch student support events, at any location, and even when the power goes out. Outside her work, Jennifer is a past co-director of the GEERing Up! program, a non-profit engineering and science camp for kids and remains active on the GEERing Up! board of advisors (which she co-founded) and continues to be a strong advocate for access, education, and support for all students.
