We really do. WEEF participation rates hit an amazing 85% this term! Congratulations Engineering! This type of support goes a long way and will ensure that WEEF will continue to grow and make meaningful contributions to life in Engineering at UW. WEEF proposals are in and specific participation rates are now available. See the attached chart for details by class. We have $60 000 to allocate for this term.
We saw the phenomenal impact that student generosity can have at the E5 grand opening and will definitely continue to build on this with your support! Thank you for everyone who came out to the grand opening celebrations. Our student teams have already begun taking full advantage of the new resources that are available in our world-class student design centre, including the new WEEF Student Shop.
The next step in the WEEF funding allocation process is that all departments and student teams who submitted proposals make presentations to accompany their proposals at Funding Council. Presentation meetings will be taking place on November 8th and 9th at 5:30pm in RCH – 307. Funding Council will meet once more on November 10th to make final funding allocation decisions based on the proposals and presentations. The results of this process are then sent for final approval to the WEEF Board of Directors. We will be making some tough decisions at these meetings so please make sure that your class is represented, so that you have a say in where the funding should go. Dinner will be provided to all class reps.
As always, questions, comments and concerns are welcome. Feel free to contact me at weef@engmail.uwaterloo.ca.
