Elections are coming!! Elections are coming!! Do you love it when the halls are filled with people’s faces on colourful posters? Have you ever wanted your face on one of those posters? Do you love being a student leader? Have you always wanted to help run a society which has over 3000 members? All of your dreams and more can come true by running in the EngSoc elections.
Nominations are open RIGHT NOW and will close on Wednesday March 3rd. Stop by the Orifice to pick up a nomination form, fill it out and then attend a mandatory meeting on Wednesday at 4:30. That is all you need to do to run. SIMPLE!
All Exec members are very approachable and will gladly discuss what is involved in their position (email addresses are provided at the end of this article). Myself and Mike Seliske, my assistant, are also available to talk about election policies and how things will run, so don’t hesitate to contact me (cro@engmail.uwaterloo.ca).
Are you in Nano, ECE or another 8s or 4s program and are switching streams in the middle of your term? In light of some new policy and constitution changes, you too can run for EngSoc Exec, just grab a running mate and run as a team. More details about these changes can be found out by contacting me and we can discuss the specific details.
Once nominations are closed on Wednesday March 3rd, official campaigning begins on Thursday March 4th and will continue until Friday March 12th. Voting will then be open during the weekend with results being announced at TalEng on Tuesday March 16th. This might seem like a lot of dates but keep checking the mailing list for CRO updates as well as the next issue of the <i>Iron Warrior<i> for an introduction to all of the candidates. The trophy case will be transformed into election central with bios, updates and photos. Information can also be found on the EngSoc website in the elections section.
Elections are a very exciting time and I hope the campaign season will be a great one. If running for an exec position has ever crossed your mind, find out more and do it! It will be one of the greatest experiences of your life.
