New VP-Externals! Engineering Competition and More!

Hello Engineers!

First of all, let me congratulate Lisa Belbeck and Mike Seliske on becoming your new VP-Externals! Their term officially starts Sept. 1^st and will last for 16 months!! I know they have great ideas for the position and are really excited about representing you to external organizations.

Waterloo Engineering Competition (WEC) is this coming weekend! Hopefully you have already signed up because registration is closed. If you did not get a chance to participate this term, you can always compete this Fall when B-Soc is on campus. Also, I would like to thank Angelo Alaimo for running WEC this term and running the first ever info session on “how to succeed in WEC” which had an amazing turnout!

Look out for an amazing Woman in Engineering event that will be happening on July 19^th. The event will encompass lots of fun mini-events, a mingling BBQ , a forum and lots of great t-shirts and bandanas! More information about the event will come, but if you would like to volunteer to help out, please email me (email below).

The charity directors are continuing to bring you amazing charity events this term. A summary is below:

• EngSoc will be visiting a local seniors home to help out with their Christmas in July Event! This will be happening on July 9^th, from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm. This is a great event to get Waterloo Engineers out in the community, and we need VOLUNTEERS! The Seniors Home we’re going to is a #12 Bus Ride away. More details will be given once you sign up on the Orifice (Engineering Society Office) door!
• Charity directors will be holding your third annual float day on July 15^th at lunch! We will be giving out ICE CREAM FLOATS in the CPH Foyer! Donations are encouraged and will be going to Free the Children.
• The bottle drive will be happening on July 17^th, starting at 1 pm. The Charities Directors will be travelling to YOU to pick up you empty bottles. The money from the returns will be going to Free the Children to build a school in India. There may be competitions for the best structure built out of the empties, but more information will come later.
• Another event that will be coming up will be Purpling for Alzheimer’s, which will be happening later this term! You can donate money to charity and then get a body part purpled!!

If you have any questions about any of the above, please do not hesitate to contact me (asoc_vpext@engmail.uwaterloo.ca).
