Hey everyone, this is just another update from your friendly neighbourhood WEEF director. In the last couple weeks the WEEF Funding Council (comprising one or two representatives from each engineering class on campus) met three times to decide where $60,000 would be allocated this term. At the first two meetings students, staff and professors presented their proposals and were asked questions by your class reps. In total there was $380,132.81 requested this term.
The third and final Funding Council meeting was Monday July 5th. At this meeting the council decided who would receive which slice of the WEEFberry pie. Unfortunately this IW issue was published before the meeting and consequently there are no fancy tables accompanying this article. Look for a complete listing of funding allocations in my next IW report.
WEEF’s Board of Directors will be meeting later this month to finalize the funding decision for this term. Questions, comments or suggestions are always welcome – email me at weef@engmail.uwaterloo.ca
