Hey 2017’s! We are your Vice-Presidents Education. The role of the Vice-President Education is to represent the engineering student body in all academic concerns. More specifically we represent the Society on a variety of committees including the: Faculty Undergraduate Studies Council (FUGS),
Senate Undergraduate Council (SUC), WatPD-Engineering Curriculum Committee (CC), Cooperative Education Council (CEC), Coop Students Council (CSC), and Engineering Coop Working Group (CWG). The Society also offers valuable academic services to help with your smooth transition into first-year engineering. Keep an eye out for resume critiques happening on campus and visit the exam bank online for helpful practice midterms.
After the insanity of orientation has finished, classes will inevitably begin. Within the first week or so, each class will elect academic representatives. These representatives will work directly with your professors and faculty to ensure you are getting the most out of your education here at Waterloo. Choose them wisely!
Now, for those of you who are wondering which society we represent, Derek Thompson is the VP Education for the A Society and will be your representative for your first four months here at Waterloo. Megan McNeil and Orysia Soraka are the VPs Education for the B Society and will be starting in the winter term.
Since Nanotechnology has 8 month coop terms and thus alternate between societies, Megan and Orysia are a duo exec team. Megan will be the on-term VP Education for Winter 2013 while Orysia will be on-term for Fall 2013.
All three of us have your best interests in mind for everything related to your academics and cooperative education here at Waterloo. Feel free to contact any of us if you have any questions, concerns, or no one to share your jokes with. The emails to reach us are vpeducation.b@engsoc.uwaterloo.ca and vpeducation.a@engsoc.uwaterloo.ca. Enjoy your first week on campus and never hesitate to say hello!
