Welcome Message from the President

Posted: September 12, 2011

Hey You,

Welcome to the new and improved MITSC website! On behalf of the MITSC we hope you use this website as a tool to keep up to date on all the exciting things that will be happening around the faculty.

If you are coming to this site for the first time, welcome, if you are returning to it, welcome back! I hope each and every one of you had a restful but eventful summer. My name is Zach Valliant, I am going into my fourth year of Honours MIT and I am your faculty President for the 2011-2012 academic year.

This Student Council will be responsible for organizing many different events for you throughout the school year. Academic, charity, and, of course, bar nights are a few of the types of events we will be hosting for you throughout the year. I hope that you take the time to come out to these events and bring your friends regardless of the faculty they are in. One of the things I will stress this coming year is that even though we run events for the FIMS faculty we encourage other faculties to come out to as well!

As you all get through O-week whether your participating in it on campus or celebrating off campus, once you have recovered and settled into your first week of class, check back into this website and get ready for an awesome year!

Yours Truly,

Zach Valliant
President | Faculty of Information and Media Studies
