The summer heat may be upon us, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t rolling out a multitude of events in the upcoming weeks! You may need to roll down the window to stay cool, but come aboard the bus to Beach Day, this Saturday, July 13. Tickets are on sale in the EngSoc office — get one before it’s too late! The next day, Sunday, July 14, is the Engineering Alumni & Student Golf Tournament. You can also buy tickets for this at the EngSoc Office; this includes 18 holes of golf, a golf cart to roll around the course in, a meal, and prizes. The next next day, Monday, July 15, is Cardboard Boat Racing. You can sign up in the EngSoc office this week, then roll up your sleeves, build a cardboard boat, and race it (and/or sink it) at the PAC. We’re on a roll here!
It’s also that time of the term again: EngPlay performances are coming up! There will be three performances, July 17 and 18 at 7:00 p.m., and July 20 at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are $5, and will be on sale in the EngSoc office until the show, and also at the door. Don’t miss this hilarious show and all the hard work everyone has put in this semester. It’s going to be an event you’ll be sad you missed!
The final workshop in our Student Skills series of workshops, on Microsoft Excel, was on Tuesday, July 2. Overall, while the workshops did suffer from low attendance, we feel that those students who participated found the events useful. We plan on running the series again in the winter 2014 term, when more first-year students are on term, and potentially rolling out some new workshops as well.
Commissioner applications are open! A Commissioner is in charge of a specific aspect of the Engineering Society. For example, the Student Life Commissioner manages the Directors that run social events. We are looking for students interested in being the Student Life Commissioner or Student Services Commissioner. If you are good at organizing and managing people, want to further your leadership abilities, and want to have fun, apply to be a Commissioner via the EngSoc website. The deadline to apply to be a Commissioner is this Friday, so hop to it!
Similarly, Directorship applications are open too. A Director is responsible for running an event or service. Different Directorships require different time commitments, but the amount of time you invest into a Directorship is up to you. Is there an event you really love, or a new event you think would succeed? Then you should apply to be a Director! Applications close August 2.
That just about covers everything. You should get rolling on your commissioner and/or directorship applications!
