VP EXTERNAL: NEIL ROY CHOUDHURY (HE/HIM)
When not debating, you’ll probably find him studying in the library, doing some Urban Planning stuff, or hanging out around the city.
Neil is insufferable.
He is trying to read more and has read almost 10 books this year.
He loves to skateboard and ride his bike.

“I am married to the UADS VP Internal”
He is really annoying to walk around a City with.
He is the VP External for another club on campus.
He is in his 4th year in school but has the pleasure of redoing STAT151 due to the incompetency of his first year self.
He has been to quite a few countries.
His favourite city in the world is Edmonton and his least favourite city in the world is Paris.
His favourite movie is Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
In his spare time. he likes to test the resiliency of his body and jump off of high objects, just to see how well the knees work (this can be on a skateboard, skis, bike, or just his own two feet)
He is learning how to play the Banjo
He doesn’t want to go to Law School
Neil’s role as VP External is to organize and assist with tournaments, help with day-to-day club activities, and be a point of contact between external agencies, clubs, organizations and UADS.
