I’m going to make this short and sweet, like me. (I’m 5’5” and I may be covered in sugar at the moment)
Commissioner Applications
It’s not too late!! Commissioner applications are still open until midnight. We might even extend the deadline if we’re in a good mood.

The commissioner roles that are available for the Fall term are Speaker, Communications Commissioner, Student Life Commissioner, Waterloo Engineering Competition (WEC) Commissioner, Outreach Commissioner, and First Year Commissioner. More info can be found on the application form at bit.ly/f13commissioner.
Policy Manual
The addition of the Policy Manual back to the Society’s documents, as well as some changes to the Society’s Bylaws will be up for a motion at the EngSoc meeting today at 5:30 PM. The Policy Manual includes procedure to some of the more important operations of the Society, such as allocation of funds via sponsorships or the Engineering Capital Improvement Fund (ECIF), and elections and referenda. Changes to the Bylaws include allowing students to run for a position on the society that they will be part of in the future, regardless of whether they are in that society at the time of nomination. So Nanotechnology and ECE students will be able to run for an executive position on the society that they will be switching to due to their back-to-back academic terms. If you have an opinion regarding these changes, talk to your class rep. Or better yet, come to the EngSoc meeting and voice your concerns.
Well that’s all I have for now. See y’all in two weeks!!
Yasser.
