Bailee McEwan- President
Howdy! My name is Bailee McEwan and I am a Junior Biochemistry major with a Biology minor planning to graduate in the Fall of 2025. I grew up in southern Ontario, Canada, but moved to San Antonio, Texas a couple years ago. It is my pleasure to serve as the President of the TAMU Pre-Medical Society for the 24’/25’ school year. I had the honor of being a part of our philanthropy committee my freshman year raising awareness for the Alzheimer’s Association. And then this past year I served as the Membership director and Chair of the Peer Mentorship Program. Pre-Med has given me so many friendships, experiences, and opportunities throughout my time at A&M and I am excited to pay it forward this upcoming year. As your President, my job involves overseeing our organization’s activities and ensuring we offer the best opportunities available to help members prepare for medical school. My goal for this upcoming year is to continue growing our Society into a place where pre-medical students can not only grow their interests and learn, but also where they can make friends, relax, and truly enjoy giving back to the community. In my free time I enjoy volunteering, playing intramural sports, and getting out on the lake with the TAMU Wakeboarding team!! I love meeting new people and am stoked to get to know everyone this upcoming year. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions or if you just need someone to talk to. Thanks and Gig’em!

Carson Luton- Treasurer
Howdy, I'm Carson, a biochemistry major from the class of 2027 at Texas A&M. When I'm not buried in books, you'll find me on the courts for basketball or volleyball, shredding waves wakesurfing, or dominating the pickleball courts. I also dedicate my free time to volunteering at various campus events. On quieter days, sinking shots on the pool table, binge-watching captivating TV series, or cheering on my favorite basketball team keeps me entertained. Recently, I've developed a keen interest in stock trading, staying informed on current market trends. Despite my bustling schedule, I'm always up for trying new things. My ultimate goal is to attend medical school and pursue my passion for medicine, driven by a desire to make a positive impact on others' lives. Alongside my fellow officers, we aim to build upon this club's legacy. As treasurer, I aspire to refine our budgeting process, allocating funds to enhance club events and meetings. I'm committed to maintaining the high standards set by my predecessors and striving for excellence.
