Happy October everyone!
I hope all of you have been enjoying the beautiful colours of fall, and, of course, the lovely events and services that are being held by the Engineering Society! These past few weeks have seen some great things: from Coffee House, to the Engineering Athletics sessions, to Resume Critiques, there really is something for everyone! September wouldn’t have been this awesome without our lovely directors and volunteers, so I want to give a big thank you to everyone who helped out!
With midterms just around the corner, you’re probably one of the many students getting stressed out. Lucky for you, EngSoc has a great way to relieve all your stress! After midterms, we will be having a PostSecret Week. Everyone will have the chance to write a secret down and submit it anonymously. The following week, a collage will be made of all the secrets. To get more information on this event, like our page on Facebook (UW Engineering Society) or follow us on twitter (@EngSoc)!
If this doesn’t sound like your thing, or you’re looking for more support, there are many more services offered by UWaterloo. The engineering faculty offers three types of counselling: personal, study skills, and career planning. There’s no charge to registered students, staff, and faculty, and it is confidential and voluntary. Engineering Counselling also offers workshops to help students through academic difficulties. If you’re interested, you can contact the Engineering Counselling Office at (519) 888 – 4761.
Outside of engineering, the University offers Counselling Services. They offer free individual and group counselling to facilitate personal and social growth and assist with life difficulties. Health Services also offers Mental Health Services, who aims to help students lead a healthy and balanced life. These are just a couple of the many services on campus to help students like us! For more information, you can visit Counselling Services at uwaterloo.ca/counselling-services/ and Mental Health Services at uwaterloo.ca/health-services/mental-health-services.
Relax, take it easy, and enjoy!
