After careful consideration, the Engineering Undergraduate Society has unanimously decided to offer Ben Du our endorsement for the 2023 AMS Election. Ben has a proven track record of support for the EUS and the Engineering Department Clubs as VP Administration and we’re confident in his ability to continue this as AMS President in the coming year.

In the past year, Ben has aided the EUS in finding Eatery subsidies to provide affordable food options for students, included the EUS for the first time ever in AMS Events like his largest Clubs Fair in UBC history, significantly improved spaces bookable by clubs and constituencies in the Nest, and has introduced a full-day orientation conference for executives of every undergraduate society on campus.

The AMS President is able to influence bookings, reimbursements, contracts, and other important aspects of the operations of the EUS as well as the Engineering Department Clubs. The AMS President's willingness and ability to provide this support is the most important service they provide to the EUS and Department Clubs and our endorsement recognizes a severe difference in willingness and ability to do so between the candidates. Friday’s Presidential Debate showed a clear difference between the two candidates when it comes to providing this crucial support .

AMS Elections will be running at the same time as the EUS Election, from Monday to Friday this week. We strongly encourage all UBC Engineers to vote for Ben Du, but more importantly we encourage everyone to carefully read each candidate’s ballot statement, bio, and campaign promises and come to an informed decision when they vote.
