Hello Class of 2019!
We are your Engineering Society Presidents: Leila Meema-Coleman (A-Society) and Allyson Francis (B-Society).We are super excited that you are here, and can’t wait to meet all of you! You will be sure to see a lot of us in the coming week and term, and we encourage you all to come and talk to us whenever you get a chance! We will be the two wearing the white hardhats and handing out sweet EngSoc slap bracelets!
As Presidents our main role is representing you, the students. We advocate on your behalf to the Faculty, university, student union and external groups on issues that affect your undergraduate experience. To do this effectively we need your input!
During the term, please feel free to stop us with any questions or concerns you may have about school, university issues, services we offer, or just the Society itself. We can often be found in Carl Pollock Hall (CPH), especially the EngSoc Office in CPH 1327) and our Engineering Student Lounge, POETS in CPH 1337. You can also reach both of us at president@engsoc.uwaterloo.ca.
We can also quite often be found at all of the different events the Engineering Society runs each term. The first event is coming up fast on Sunday September 8. It’s ENGSOC Day! Each year we run a Charity Head Shave, bouncy castles, dunk tank, and free BBQ starting at 11:00 a.m. outside Carl Pollock Hall, followed by ComEng (a free stand-up comedy show). ComEng starts at 7:00 p.m. in the Humanities Theatre, in Hagey Hall.) We cannot wait for this year’s EngSoc day, and look forward to meeting you all then. The rest of our amazing events can be found on the Engineering Society website, engsoc.uwaterloo.ca, so please head on over to that to check it out. There are a ton of events each term, and it is a great way to get involved in university, or to just have a great time.
The Engineering Society is a great thing to be a part of, and we hope that you all will get a good head start. We have opportunities and services for everyone and run a very diverse set of programs so you should be able to find something you are interested in! We look forward to working with you, and want to wish you luck for your time here at Waterloo. Have a great Orientation Week, and see you Tuesday!
