Welcome to Waterloo Engineering! I’m excited to see so many new students on campus, participating in Orientation Week. The Engineering Orientation Committee has worked tirelessly for close to a year, planning every last detail of this week just for you. I truly hope your orientation experience makes you feel welcomed and excited to be a part of this incredible Faculty!
The role of the Student Relations Officer was created in 2008 with the goal of enhancing your engineering student experience and improving student relations with the administration. I believe we’ve made tremendous progress in both of these areas. A large part of my job is to listen to you and to ensure the student voice is heard. I provide regular updates to the Dean from our student body, and likewise, share updates from the Dean with you.
As your main contact in the Dean’s Office, I am available to provide support to your activities and initiatives. One of my many responsibilities is to serve as the Faculty’s Orientation Advisor, so you’ll likely see me around during your orientation activities. Hopefully you’ll be motivated by the energy of this week to get involved in one or more of the many exciting extra-curricular engineering activities. And of course, we love to boast about our students, so please share your stories and successes with me and others in the Faculty!
I hope you have an awesome orientation experience and I look forward to meeting you at some point during the week and throughout your time as a Waterloo Engineering student.
Best,
