Now that you’re here, it’s time for you to learn what it takes to be a Waterloo Engineer. You have a lot to learn and a short time to do it in, so pay attention. We are HEADCOM and we are in charge. We control EDCOM and Orientation Week. Make no mistake about it — you have one job this week: IMPRESS EDCOM. We cannot stress this enough to you.
EDCOM is the Education Committee. We are your lifeline and your guides. We are a dedicated group of senior students who are the best and the brightest that Waterloo has to offer, meaning we are the best and the brightest, PERIOD. We also participate actively in the Engineering Society, the Waterloo Engineering Endowment Foundation (WEEF), and the many student teams you will learn about on Thursday. We are everywhere, we do everything, and we are not impressed easily.
We are the ones who will award you your hardhat, that is, if you earn it. This means that we are the ones who decide whether or not you are a Plummer; a true Waterloo Engineering student. Once you have your hardhats, we will be there to watch your ENGinuity during Junkyard Wars, and oversee all the events during Scavenger Hunt. On Sunday, based on everything we have seen, we will decide who has won the week, and who has lost.
Good luck, Frosh.
You’re gonna need it.
