Hey Engineers,
Hope everyone has recovered from either reading week or midterms last week. I have a couple items to update.
The FEDS Colour Me Educated campaign is still underway. There are donation bins in POETS, the C&D and the Engineering Society office. Also coming up, you can get extra P**5 points for running a charity event in your class that contributes to the FEDS Colour Me Educated campaign.
Happening soon is the POETS Door Design contest. It will basically be a contest to design something for the glass on the outside doors of POETS (facing the foyer). There will be some type of prize for the winner of the contest so all you design-y people out there, look out for this opportunity.
Over the past week, your EngSoc representative(s) for your class should have distributed the Debt-load survey and the EngSoc survey. The Debt-load survey is conducted by the Faculty to determine how much our students are in debt. The EngSoc survey is being conducted by the EngSoc executives to determine how much the Engineering Society is reaching out to the student body. If your class has not completed these surveys yet, please talk to your class reps and tell them to contact me (president.a@engsoc.uwaterloo.ca).
Over the past year or so, the Faculty has been hard at work trying to figure out what they want the Faculty of Engineering to look like in 2015. During this process, the Faculty consulted the student body for their input in a series of town halls. Now the report is complete (or almost complete) and the Faculty is looking to introduce it to the students in another town hall event. This event, called “Vision 2015 Launch Town Hall”, will be on Wednesday, March 21st at 5:30 PM in RCH 301. The Dean, as well as other professors in the Faculty, will be speaking to the Vision 2015 plan and there will be a question-and-answer period. I am currently working on getting a video stream set up so people can watch the event if they are on their co-op term or are not on campus that night.
Lately, most of my time is being consumed by meetings. Meetings that are coming up in the future are the WEEF Board of Directors meeting, a Joint A-Soc/B-Soc executive meeting, and a Women in Engineering Event that I am speaking at. Other than that, the Examinations and Promotions Committee meeting is coming up soon so I will be having lots of meetings with students in the coming weeks regarding that.
As always, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions/concerns (president.a@engsoc.uwaterloo.ca). If you have any spare time, check out my blog at (http://engsoc.uwaterloo.ca/blog/presa). ALSO, follow me on twitter (@engsocaprez).
