Hello Everyone! I hope midterms weren’t too bad. Congrats on getting through them! Unfortunately, school has been incredibly hectic with midterms and projects, so this will be a pretty short update.
Third Council Meeting Summary
We had our third EngSoc council meeting on Wednesday, October 28th. Chris Lolas, the FedS president, spoke about a new student building that is being proposed between the SLC and PAC. Kristine Meier, one of the counsellors in Engineering Counselling, spoke about the services that are available on campus as well as initiatives that are being worked on within Counselling Services.
Council voted to show their support for the new societies agreement, had a discussion about the possibility of having a platform for engineering students to contact students about their past co-op jobs, and mid-term actuals were presented.

Study Skills Workshop Round 2
We will be running another workshop with the Student Success Office to help you recover from midterms and get through your finals! Come talk to upper years and learn skills that will help you succeed for the rest of the term. The workshop will be held on Wednesday, November 18th from 6-8pm.
Mental Health Awareness Week
I wanted to say thanks to everyone who participated in Mental Health Awareness Week. It was amazing to read all of the blogs and all of the secrets that were submitted. A huge thanks goes out to our directors Deon Hua and Fiona Wong for putting the week together. We ran an event called Let’s Talk Mental Health, and it was a huge success! There was a lot of great conversations, and so many people showed so much courage by speaking about their experiences.
If you ever have any questions, or just want to chat, don’t hesitate to send me an email at president.b@engsoc.uwaterloo.ca.
