Hello A Soc, it is your friendly VP Internal Sarb here. We are halfway through March and we still have a few more events left in our calendar. Let’s see what has been done so far, as well as what we have left for the term.
PAST EVENTS
Genius Bowl happened on March 9. We had a massive turnout of 20 teams, and the teams were a mix of engineering students from different years. It was one of the best advertised events from the term, and we have obtained a great event marketing strategy and checklist from the director of the event, Yugue Chen (2020 Civil) that I hope to implement in all my directorships starting next term. We had some minor issues here and there, but all-in-all it was the largest Genius Bowl we have seen in recent times. In the meantime, we are thinking about changing the name of Genius Bowl for future terms, so if you have a name suggestion for the event, (which is not Candy Toss,) please do let me know.
Next, we had a great LAN party that was organized by Sameer Chitley (2018 Software) on March 11. The event was well-run and we had gaming enthusiasts from within the community show up for the event.
I am also hoping to look into other kind of events EngSoc may offer in the fall to help ensure we can provide events for everyone.
TalEng also happened on March 15. Credited with great marketing strategy, Daniel Harrold (2019 Chemical) stood juggling in the CPH Foyer in hopes of attracting people to come to TalEng. We had a good number of performers show up, and we had various talents such as jugglers, a band, musicians and a stand-up comedian who performed. We also had Jeff Gulbronson perform a stand-up routine, (to which I made no contribution.) Talking about TalEng would be incomplete without the mention of the wonderful MC of the night, Kevin McNamara (2016 Civil).
FUTURE EVENTS
We will have a coffeehouse, happening on Wednesday the 23rd after the last council meeting of the term. After that, we will have some arts events, EngProv and EngiQueers happening. Lastly, there will be EngPlay and our EOT event happening in the last week of the term.
