Colour Me Educated – Last week was the official kick-off for the Colour Me Educated campaign. The campaign supports the Kitchener branch of Pathways to Education, and raises money and awareness for education efforts in Kitchener. I, as well as 6 other representatives from the other faculties on campus, was involved in the event, getting thrown into a dumpster and trying to raise enough money to get out. The event ended with over $1000 raised, with Engineering raising $130 of that. The campaign will be in full swing until April, so look out for events across campus! If you want to donate now, just head to the CnD or the Engineering Society office and there are paint can donation bins located there.
FedS Campaign – The FedS election campaign has officially started. As an engineer, you are going to want to get informed on the FedS Executive campaign platforms as well as the Engineering Counsellor campaign platforms if you will be voting in the election. In an effort to help you meet the candidates, EngSoc is planning a meet and greet event with all the FedS Executive and Engineering Counsellor candidates. This event will be on February 8th from 11:30 am – 1:30 pm in the CPH foyer (outside POETS).
Upgrades to POETS – POETS is going to be getting some new features in the next couple of weeks/months. First off, the blinds will be re-installed in POETS so that we can actually see the TV when it is a nice, sunshiny day outside. Second, there will be new tables and chairs for the upstairs (where you can overlook the inside of POETS). For both of these, we are in the process of determining which styles/companies we will order from, but expect to see some new shiny things in POETS in a couple of months.
