The term has gone by quickly, but it was definitely an exciting one!

The student deals program and textbook library both launched last week, and are off to a good start. The student deals program is free for all students, and gives you awesome deals in the plaza: just head over to the EngSoc office (CPH 1327) and pick up your student deals sticker.

The LCD screens now have software ready for them, and they will hopefully be up and running soon. This will be another way for EngSoc to advertise our events and services, and will provide us with an avenue to communicate many more opportunities moving forward.

Last week was also the E&P meeting, where I represent the student body on students various academic petitions. Please remember that if you or your friends are ever in academic trouble, they can come talk to me and I can provide support.

Council Meeting 6 is today, and it is going to be a good one. Feds President David Collins will be coming to give a guest speech, and we will also be voting on the ratification changes and students’ award policy. For more information on those items please check out the website or come and ask. We will also be getting a presentation from our CFO on the Society surveys that went out. There are two member submitted motions that we will be discussing, and we will be ratifying the new speaker and commissioners for the Winter 2014 term. Finally, we will be announcing the winner of the President’s awards for outstanding directors and commissioners, and the Paul Harlick award for outstanding class rep. I hope to see you there.

I had a great time in my first term as your President, and I hope you were all happy with the term. As always, any questions and concerns can be emailed to me at president.a@engsoc.uwaterloo.ca. Feel free to also let me know if you have anything you would like me to work on over the coop term! I hope you all have a great work term, and see you in January!
