The title may seem irrelevant, but I promise we will get to that!
Over the past couple of weeks I have been having meetings with all of the department chairs and program directors. These meetings were to talk with them about how the Engineering Society (EngSoc) can better engage and serve the students. I am happy to say that they have all been very receptive to my ideas, and I am excited to work with all of them.
All of you should have received (or should be receiving) an Engineering Society feedback form from your class reps. These are very important because it allows us to know what we are doing well, what we need to improve, and what you would all like to see. Our Chief Feedback Officer will also be running an in person feedback session tonight at the EngSoc Council meeting, so be sure to attend if you have complaints or praises for the executives! She will then be presenting all of the results to us at Council Meeting 6 on July 24.
There is a lot of other stuff going on at the meeting tonight. Dean Sullivan will be presenting; she will be talking about E7 and the Faculty in general, and as always, will be available to answer all of your questions. If you would like to hear from our Dean, be sure to come out. As well, we will be discussing the student awards program, and an elections bylaw change.
Engineering Society Commissioner and Officer applications are open until Friday! If you are interested in running the EngSoc meetings, helping organize all of the events and services we run or running the exam bank, be sure to apply! We will be conducting interviews next week, so definitely check it out! The applications can be found at engsoc.uwaterloo.ca/commissionerapplication.
If you are looking to help out with the Society, but don’t want such a huge commitment, definitely check out our Directorships! We have a ton of different Directorships which range from organizing a charity bus push to running resume critiques to just organizing a running club! There are LOTS of options to choose from. Full descriptions and the form can be found at engsoc.uwaterloo.ca/directors/asoc_application.
Other than that, I am still working on the final touches for the textbook library and student deals program. They will definitely launch in the fall term, but hopefully they will launch before then.
As always, questions, comments, and concerns can be emailed to me at president.a@engsoc.uwaterloo.ca. I hope to see you all tomorrow and around the halls!
