Hello Engineering Students! I hope that you all enjoyed your reading week, and had some time to get rested up for the rest of the school term. Congratulations to those of you who have finished midterms and good luck to those who are right in the middle of them. Here are some things that are upcoming on the finance front.

Engineering Society Sponsorship is happening now! Each term, a certain percentage off the Engineering Society budget is allocated towards sponsoring student teams and groups on campus. Any student group who is on campus is eligible to apply, and should head over to the Engineering Society Website engsoc.uwaterloo.ca/sponsorship and fill out the form. The applications are due at 5:00 p.m. on Friday, February 28, and any group that applies must do a brief presentation to the Sponsorship Committee in the afternoon of March 2. The committee will then deliberate and allocate the funds, and they will be brought forward at the Engineering Society Council Meeting on March 12.

The Engineering Capital Improvements Fund (ECIF) Committee met this past Tuesday to decide where to allocate the funds for the term that go towards improving the facilities of the society and its affiliates, and in general improving engineering student life on campus. These allocations will be brought forward for approval at the Engineering Society Council Meeting on March 12, so keep an eye out for the results of that.

I am still waiting on the coverall order to come in, but don’t fret because they should be on the way soon. To get your Novelties fix for the week, come out to the Fire Sale that will be happening Friday, February 28 in CPH Foyer from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. Get the lowest prices ever on some awesome Novelties swag.

That’s about all for this week! I hope that everyone enjoys the rest of their terms. As always, please do not hesitate to ask me if you have any questions related to EngSoc finances.
