Dutied Officers

National Communications Chair - Jeremy O'Driscoll, Computer Engineering, '12

Each year, NAESC (the National Association of Engineering Student Councils) organizes a regional and a national conference. These conferences are intended to give student councils at different schools a chance to share their ideas on how to improve their schools. At the end of the conferences, a school is awarded "Best Council,” which EnCouncil shoots for as a group every year. The National Communications Coordinator is in charge of organizing our trips to the conferences and communicating with neighboring schools.

Jeremy O’Driscoll is a Computer Engineer, currently living in Georgia. He likes video games, skiing, and dogs.

Parliamentarian - Wesley Campbell, Mechanical Engineering, '10

Parliamentarian duties revolve around enforcing and maintaining the constitution and bylaws. This includes interpretation of the stipulations and oversight of the operations of executive board, dutied officers, and event chairs.

Wesley is from New Orleans and started as a biomedical engineer before migrating back to his mechanical and aerospace engineering.  He is a course director for the freshman engineering seminar EN120.  Wesley has also had notable roles in Engineering Orientation, Vertigo, EnWeek, and Cheap Lunch. He is also a more than healthy fan of aerospace, especially commerical aviation.  At home he loves to drive and care for his family's 1988 BMW.
