Hi, Class of 2021! We are your Engineering Society Presidents: Adelle Vickery (A-Society) and Rachel Malevich (B-Society). We are both very excited that you are here and we can’t wait to meet you!
As Presidents, we are the face and voice of the Engineering Society, and our main role is to represent you, the students. We advocate on your behalf to the faculty, the university, the student union, and to other groups that affect your undergraduate experience. To do this effectively, we need your input! During the term, feel free to stop us with any questions or concerns you have about school, university issues, or the Society itself. You can usually find us in the EngSoc office (CPH 1327) or our student lounge, POETS (CPH 1337). You can also reach both of us at president@engsoc.uwaterloo.ca.
We can also be found at all of the different events the Engineering Society runs each term. The first event is coming up quickly on Sunday, September 11th. It’s EngSoc Day! Each year we run a Charity Head Shave, dunk tank, and charity BBQ starting at 11:00 am outside Carl Pollock Hall (CPH), followed by our termly Scavenger Hunt (aka SCUNT) at 5:00pm in CPH Courtyard. We cannot wait for this year’s EngSoc Day, and are looking forward to meeting all of you! The rest of our events can be found on the EngSoc website, engsoc.uwaterloo.ca/events, so make sure to check it out. There are a variety of events that run each term, and they’re a great way to make friends, have fun, and get involved in university!
EngSoc is a wonderful community to be a part of, and we hope that you are all as excited to get involved as we were in first year. We have opportunities for everyone, and if there is something that you notice that we aren’t doing, let us know! We are always looking for new ways to make EngSoc better for everybody.
If you want to know more about the Society and don’t want to wait until classes start, we will both be around for Orientation Week wearing white hardhats and would be happy to answer any questions you have!
We look forward to working with you, and we want to wish you the best of luck for your time here at Waterloo. Have an amazing Orientation Week, and see you on Tuesday!
