Howdy everyone! Here’s the happy haps:
ESSCO AGM
The Engineering Student Societies’ Council of Ontario Annual General Meeting was held last weekend in Kingston. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to attend so I don’t have much to say about it. However, I can tell you that Waterloo has a very strong representation within the ESSCO executive team, with 3 out of the 4 new executives being Waterloo students; Michael Seliske will be the President for the next year, Leila Meema-Coleman and David Birnbaum are the new VP-Communications and VP-Finance and Administration respectively, and Emily Bot from McMaster complete the executive team as VP-Services. WOOT WOOT WATERLOO REPRESENT!!
Upcoming Events
And as always I’ll leave you with the some events coming up this week. I’ve talked about most of them in the previous issue of IW so I’ll just go through them quickly.
- WiE Week (June 25th – 29th): Lots of things going on, including a seminar and a meet-and-greet so make sure you check them out.
- Canada Day (July 1st): Awesome fun times and events happening at North Campus with fireworks to top it off!!
- WEC and Siemens Plantville Competition (July 5th – 7th): REGISTRATIONS ARE NOW OPEN AT wec.uwaterloo.ca
Here’s a quick description of the Plantville competition: Teams of 2 will manage a virtual plant using Siemens new plant simulation software. The goal of the competition is to run the best plant in terms of productivity and efficiency. The winners will give a presentation to Siemens reps explaining the methods and techniques they used in order to run the plant. The prizes are $500, $250, and $100 for first, second, and third respectively. The competition is running Thursday approximately from 6:00pm to 10:00pm so students can also participate in WEC on Friday.
And that’s all I have, for now.
