Welcome back BSoc! I hope your co-op term treated you well. My name is Peter Robertson and I am serving my second term as VP Finance for the Engineering Society ‘B’. This will be my last term and although I will be sad to see it end, there’s still lots of time left in the term and I look forward to making it as enjoyable as possible for you. Things have started off quickly and I’m happy to tell you that our termly budget was passed by Council at the first EngSoc Council meeting last Wednesday. In the photo [to the left/to the right/above/below] you can see the budgets that were requested by directors on the left, and the approved budget on the right. If you’re interested in more details please feel free to email me at vpfinance.b@engsoc.uwaterloo.ca or come and visit the Orifice.
You can see that $9000 has been set aside for EngSoc Sponsorship this term. The Sponsorship Committee selection was tabled from Meeting #1 and will now be done at Meeting #2. Once the Committee has been selected we will able to choose a date for both Sponsorship proposals and presentations, and I will inform all Student Teams when these dates have been chosen. Engsoc Sponsorship is available for any student group or team, all are welcome to submit a proposal, and the final decision will be made by the Committee before the end of the term.
Like always, ECIF (Engsoc Capital Improvement Fund) Applications are open throughout the term and we welcome any suggestions you may have on where money can be spent to improve the quality of Engineering student life. This term we have $9000 to allocate to capital improvements. Past improvements include the outside POETS patio furniture, the bike repair stand, repairs to POETS furniture and equipment inside, the soon-to-be-installed LCD screens used for EngSoc advertising, and many more. You can submit proposals through the EngSoc website (www.engsoc.uwaterloo.ca) – there is now a direct link in the left-hand menu on the homepage.
If you ever have any questions about the financial state of the Society or want to become more involved, don’t hesitate to email me or stop by the Orifice for a chat!
