Internal Umbrella
Social Affairs Commissioners
Courtney Blake & Lindsey McCulloch
The Social Affairs Commissioners ensure that the energy from Con-Ed Frosh Week is carried on throughout the year, by giving Con-Ed students opportunities to get together outside of PROF class! The Commissioners plan the semi-annual Back to School Smokers in September and January, bringing all students in all years together after a summer or winter break away. Of course, the largest undertaking is the annual Con-Ed Formal in March, taking all year to plan organize the marquee event on CESA’s calendar. This year, the Social Affairs Commissioners are looking to bring brand new social events to the fold. The Commissioners are looking for members of Con-Ed to join them in planning these amazing events through the newly created Social Committee.
Fundraisers
Allison Bone & Meghan Froebelius
Since CESA is a small student society almost entirely funded by student fees, additional sources of income are required to operate the many programs and events the Association has to offer. The Fundraisers are in charge of raising money for the Association through alternative means. The first fundraiser is the Frosh Week Sidewalk Sale, where the Fundraisers sell Con-Ed merchandise like t-shirts, travel mugs and pins. Throughout the year, the Fundraisers run bake sales and other fundraisers to make money. This year, the fundraisers are eager to explore non-traditional fundraising options to ensure the Association’s programs can continue to operate smoothly and efficiently.
Athletic Sticks
Shayne Sharkey, Emmaline Houston & Gladys Kong
The Athletic Sticks are responsible for running CESA’s sports and recreation program. The first responsibility of the Sticks is to get members of Con-Ed to sign up and play for CESA-sponsored Con-Ed intramural teams, choosing captains for these teams, and ensuring payment of all intramural fees and bonds. Every year, the Sticks put together Con-Ed’s team entry into the annual BEWIC Sports Days tournament in January. Last year, Con-Ed took home top prize in the tournament for the second time in a row! The Sticks will be working hard this year to ensure a repeat victory!

Con-Ed Music sweaters have also been designed, organized, and sold in the past. In addition, Con-Ed is informed about Music events and concerts in an effort to have them understand and support the Music program. The Music Representative is always open to comments and concerns about the Con-Ed Music program and designs a survey at the end of the year to get feedback from students about the program.
