Hey hey everyone! It’s so hard to believe we’re already half way through the term!
Midterm Season and Mental Health
With midterms coming up (or having already started for some of you) we’re putting a focus on mental health by providing you with puppies in POETS! The National Service Dogs will be in POETS during the first year and upper year hell weeks to help you relieve some of that midterm stress on study breaks. Mental Health Awareness Week is also coming up, where there will be events like Let’s Talk Mental Health, TED talks on mental health in POETS, Post-Secret Week and of course more puppies, so keep an eye out for that! Mental health is a big issue, especially in engineering with all the projects, work, and general heavy load we have, so we’re doing our best to provide you with assistance you need to perform at your best.
Hardware Skills Workshops
This term we’re trying to provide some more technical workshops on the hardware side of things, and we ran our first workshop on PCB Design! It was very successful, with over 30 students attending to learn the basics of PCB design. Definitely something to put on that resume. There will be more coming to you this term, including an Arduino Workshop. As always, if you have an idea for a workshop or event that you would like to see, don’t hesitate to come to us in the orifice or email me at vpinternal.b@engsoc.uwaterloo.ca and let me know your ideas. We’ll do our best to make it possible ☺
P**5 Points & Upcoming Events!
Did you know that every time you attend an EngSoc event, your class gets points towards winning money? Well, you do! At each event, there is a P**5 sheet, where you can sign your name and your class to earn participation points. At the end of the term, the class with the most points gets money for their class to do something together with, so come on out and earn points while having fun!
Speaking of which, TalEng, Semi Formal, Finger Painting, and many more workshops and events are coming up that you can win points for! See you there!
