Hello people, my name is Himesh Patel and I’m currently in my 3A term studying Management Engineering. I am running to be the WEEF Director for B-Soc. For those of you who don’t know, WEEF stands for Waterloo Engineering Endowment Foundation and its main goal is to improve the educational environment for undergraduate students like YOU.
My main goal for WEEF is to increase the awareness of WEEF for undergraduate students as WEEF funding is decided by the students.
To create awareness of WEEF, I would like to make the funding information more accessible and easier for the students to access and read. This can be achieved by visual aids such as posters, and by allowing students who want get involved with WEEF more opportunities to take responsibility.
WEEF has been a part of our school since 1990 and has grown into a substantial endowment fund that gives the students and faculty the funding needed to continue performing lab experiments, participating in student teams and purchasing equipment to further enhance our reputation as an engineering school. WEEF allows funding provided by students to be distributed by students; essentially, WEEF is by run by students for the students.
WEEF has become very successful because of the generous donations of the undergraduate students. Many of the things we use everyday have been either directly or indirectly funded by WEEF, and it has allowed us to continuously create and improve our faculty with learning initiatives and student team support.
As the representative for WEEF, I want to ensure that WEEF continues supporting the students and faculty with funding for resources. I really enjoy being a part of WEEF and want to continue my involvement as the WEEF Director. If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, I would love to hear them so feel free to say hi if you see me around campus.
