By the time this publication hits it stands, WEEF’s 20 year celebrations will have occurred (March 22nd). I hope you managed to make it to the CPH Foyer sometime throughout the day to see a showcase of every single purchase ever made by WEEF. It’s really quite astonishing to see how much of an impact WEEF has had, and will continue to have! We also had free give-aways like t-shirts, buttons and cake!

WEEF’s tri-annual Board of Directors meeting will be occurring on March 30th to finalize the funding decisions for this term as well as to discuss issues pertaining to the long term growth and health of WEEF. We will also make the WEEF elections that occurred through EngSoc official at this meeting.
Alas, this is the last WEEF article I will be writing as the Director, the time has come to pass the reins onto the new WEEF Director that you voted for, Praveen Arichandran. I’d like to extend my personal congratulations to both Alexa and Praveen for running in the WEEF Director elections; they are both Assistant Directors at the moment and from my experiences with them I know they are both extremely capable and engaged people. It was really nice not having to worry about the election, because I knew that regardless to who won, WEEF would be in good hands! So, congrats on some great campaigning, and congrats to Praveen! He will be your WEEF ‘A’ Stream Director for the next 16 months. I look forward to doing my transition meetings and reports with him.
My term as a director would have been infinitely more challenging without the help of two people who I’d like to take a moment to thank.
The first is, Mary Bland for being the strongest pillar of support that I know, any question I’ve ever had, Mary has had the answer , anything that I needed help on you were always willing to assist. You Rock Mary!
And second, Robin Jardin from the Dean’s Office, whose clear passion for student interactions and commitment to engaging students with the Dean has given me a new inspiration for student governance. She’s also been a tremendous help with a lot of the logistics of WEEF.
And finally, I’d like to thank my WEEF Assistant Directors this term, Alexa Baker, Praveen Arichandran and Danzhao Liu for making this term run ever so smoothly.
Best of luck on finals, and if you’re feeling lonely, just remember WEEF loves you. Questions, comments or suggestions are always welcome – email me Praveen at weef@engmail
