Hey everyone, My name is Wesley Sak, I’m in 3A Management and I’m running for the position of WEEF director.

I’ve been involved with WEEF since the start of my university career in September of 2012 as a council class representative and was a member of the Board of Directors since the summer of 2013. In that time, we’ve had dedicated directors who have ensured the smooth operation of the endowment fund. I am aiming to build on their work to ensure the fund operates effectively. The key to that is the effective communication between the fund and the students. The students and faculty need to have the fund’s resources easily accessible to them.

If elected as the WEEF Director, my goals are to improve the communications while maintaining the operation of the fund. We need to rebuild the website and revamp the proposal application procedure that currently causes so many complaints. The visibility of the fund around the Engineering buildings needs to reflect all the fund contributed to those buildings. The classrooms, labs, student design teams that benefited from WEEF need to be shown off.

WEEF is here to “continuously improve the educational environment for undergraduate engineering students, and maintain our outstanding reputation” and it does this by allowing the students to choose what gets funded. The only way this works is through a joint effort by the students and faculty. Vote for me to facilitate the continued cooperation of the student representatives and the faculty for a better learning environment.
