What’s up, Class of 2020?
We are Teresa Lumini and Sarbajoy Majumdar, your VP Internals for Fall 2015 and Winter 2016, and we are so excited for you to join us here in Waterloo Engineering! It’s our job to plan super fun events like pillow fights, talent shows, food making workshops, and laser tag trips, just to name a few, as well as provide services designed to help you with school and getting a co-op job. We even provide puppies to help you de-stress during exam times! We do all of this because the Engineering Society wants to do whatever we can to help you find your balance between work, school, and your social life!
Coming to you this Fall are a bunch of social events that cater to a variety of interests and are also a great way to hang out with your friends and meet new people in engineering. For starters, we have a semi-formal for everyone to get classy, and we put on a ridiculous and fun play every term (EngPlay), as well as allow engineering students to show off their various secret talents (TalEng). For those of you who are more into gaming we also have LAN Parties, board game, and card game nights throughout the term for you to enjoy! We also go on beach trips in the summer, ski trips in the winter, and laser tag in the fall!
To help you get that first co-op job we offer a bunch of services, from workshops to practice interviews. You can get your resume and interview skills critiqued by upper years in your program at Resume Critiques and the Interview Skills Workshop! If you want to learn some new skills to put on your resume, we offer technical workshops for both software and hardware skills, including MATLAB, Excel, Solidworks, soldering, and PCB Design.
We also have a bunch of programs and events just for first years! You can get paired with an upper year to show you the ropes with the first year mentoring program, or get more involved in the Engineering Society with the First Year Directorship program! We also run a First Year Leadership Conference filled with a bunch of workshops and events designed to help you learn more about leadership and how else you can get involved on campus.
We run a large range of events so that there is something for everyone! If you have an idea of an event or service you want to run or see, please let us know and we will try and make it happen to the best of abilities. Please feel free to email us with your ideas or if you have any questions about events and services provided by the Engineering Society at vpinternal@engsoc.uwaterloo.ca
Keep an eye out for emails and posters telling you about our events and services. Can’t wait to see you there!
