Hey! Hey, you! I’m Don Tu and you should read this article!
Alright, thanks for giving me your attention! I was trying to think of how to start my Executive Update but couldn’t think of a good way. ‘Hello everyone’ just seemed so cliché. Oh, what’s that? I have a word count? Sorry, let’s get this article started.
My name is Don Tu, and I have the privilege of being your Vice President of Finance this term. I’m in charge of things like the termly Engineering Society budget, Novelties (our merchandise store in the CPH Foyer), RidgidWare (our electronics shop, also in the CPH Foyer), the Student Deals program, and a whole lot more.
Over the summer, I was working to expand our Student Deals program. If you weren’t aware, the Student Deals sticker allows you to get deals with stores around campus. With the help of my awesome A Society counterpart, Abdullah Barakat, the Engineering Society added Menchie’s and Marble Slab Creamery to our list of Student Deals partners! You can get your very own sticker in the Engineering Society Office for free, and be sure to check out the full list of partners at engsoc.uwaterloo.ca.
In more recent news, the termly budget was approved at the first Engineering Society Council meeting this past Wednesday. This means that everyone was happy with how the money was allocated, and our lovely team of directors have the greenlight to fund all of their super-sweet events and services!
If you had your heart-set on getting a pair of lovely coveralls like you saw in Orientation Week, never fear! Coveralls will be on sale in the CPH Foyer on October 6 and 7 from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm! We’ll be selling coveralls, as well as some snazzy patches that you’ll be able to sew onto them. Save the date!
And if you’re looking for ways to get involved in the Engineering Society, why not be part of the Sponsorship Committee? Six members will be elected at the next Engineering Society meeting. You’ll be responsible for allocating over $9000 to student teams and organizations on campus!
That’s all I’ve got this week. I hope you learned something from my update and check back with me when the next Iron Warrior article comes out!
