The executive’s biggest projectcomes at the beginning of the year with the organization of 101 Week, but following the first-week extravaganza, the position is responsible for the SFUO’s social events program, coordinatingevents with faculty associations, and making sure that students know the who, what, where, and when of social events on campus.

by Jessica Sukstorf Fulcrum Staff ESSENTIALLY, THE VP finance is in charge of doling out the Student Federation of the University of Ottawa’s (SFUO) dough. Like the federal finance minister, the vp finance prepares a budget that ispresented early in the school year; however, unlike with the feds, there’s no worry about the SFUO dissolving if the budget needs some tweaking. The vp finance also implements the budget, keepsan eye on the undergraduate health plan, and is responsible for the SFUO’s businesses.
