Hello Waterloo engineers! As the term is coming up to the halfway point we hope you have enjoyed what the Society has offered so far for services, events, and representation. We are always adding new things and trying to make what we currently have better. All of these changes stem from the feedback we hear from you the students, and we are trying to give you as many opportunities to give feedback as possible! This article will let you know about all the methods we are seeking feedback this term.
New Website
If you haven’t noticed yet, EngSoc has gotten a facelift for its website which includes all updated and accurate content, a more navigationable menu, and a non-hideous yellow background! The hope with this website is to make information about the Society easier to access and to get rid of unnecessary content. This is new and we want to hear what you think! Poke around the website and let us know of any features you want or mistakes you find so we can make it the best possible site for students. There is a link to the form on the homepage of the new website!
Executive Review Committee
At the first EngSoc Meeting this term the last members were elected to the Executive Review Committee (ERC). This committee was formed this summer to investigate the current Executive and commissioner structure and make recommendations on how best to divide up the responsibilities of the Society. Part of the mandate of the committee is to get feedback from general members. There will be an open meeting held in the two weeks after midterms which everyone is welcome to attend. Look out for advertising on the mailing list in the coming weeks on how to get involved!
Executive and Society Feedback
At the last Engineering Society Meeting we elected our new cheif feedback officers (CFO)’s David Rousso and Inzamam Tahir. They will be conducting a council feedback session and surveys to general members and volunteers. The Executive will be preparing a report on the initiatives which will be circulated with the surveys. This will be your chance to give feedback on the Society and the Executive, or to suggest any new ideas you have for the Society!
Orifice Hours
While the Executive typically sit in the orifice all day (I know I do) it is good to know there is a designated time to be able to talk to the Executive and they will be there. The Executive this term have started Orifice Hours which are two hours a week that the Executive are committed to sitting in the office talking to students. This terms orifice hours are:
