Vice Grand Marshal is a title used by the chief deputies of the Grand Marshal, who are typically responsible for overseeing the functioning of the Rensselaer Union Executive Board. Since 2026, the Senate has had two positions holding this title: the Vice Grand Marshal of External Affairs (VGMEA) and the Vice Grand Marshal of Internal Affairs (VGMIA). Prior to 2026, there was only one position, named the Vice Grand Marshal between 2017-2016 and as the Vice Chair of the Senate prior to 2017.
