This is the Way the Term Ends: Not with a Bang but With a Party!

Hello (and goodbye) UW! This will be my last IW update for the term until I see you all again in the Winter term. Exams are coming up fast, but we have squeezed as much excitement as we can into the one week that we have left!
This Thursday the 24 of July, Feds and EngSoc have teamed up to bring you FEngSoc Day, a 24/7 day of fun! We will kick things off on Wednesday night with the last EngSoc meeting of the term, a licensed coffee house and 75 advance tickets to get a line jump for that night’s Bomber Wednesday, which can be purchased in the Orifice (CPH 1327) for $3!
Thursday morning, Feds will treat everyone to a free pancake breakfast while quantities last, and then starting at 11:30 am in CPH courtyard, EngSoc and Feds are hosting a fun fair! We will have a bouncy castle and a gladiator joust game set up, with Boggan burgers for sale and free freezies and bubble tea! We also will have a photo booth and some fun EngSoc and Feds swag to try on for the camera.
In the afternoon, we are holding a water fight (weather permitting), so make sure you bring a change of clothes!
The night will then phase into Thursday night Trivia at Bomber, followed by the door prize draws, during which exec will each get a pie to the face! Make sure you don’t miss it! And if you were a director for EngSoc this term, stick around afterwards for some yummy appetizers and a fun night at Bomber to celebrate the end of the term with Feds.
I forgot to mention the best part: this event is open to ALL FACULTIES as EngSoc’s way of celebrating school spirit within the university as a whole. Make sure you invite your friends from the other faculties! For official event details, check out the Waterloo Engineering Society Facebook page at facebook.com/uwengsoc, or go to engsoc.uwaterloo.ca/events.
Also, the very next day, EngSoc is also hosting its traditional End-Of-Term party in POETS, so make sure you take the opportunity to enjoy these last few carefree days before finals!
On a more serious note, opportunities to provide feedback to exec as well as the Society as a whole will be circulated via the mailing list, so please take a moment to let us know how we did this term and what you would like to see from us in the upcoming Winter term! We also will be publishing all Freezie Friday responses from the term so that students and faculty can see what students really think of their experience at UW. Your responses will be used to determine what initiatives we will pursue on your behalf for the remaining duration of our time as exec.
What’s next for EngSoc? We are continuing to gear up for Orientation Week, so if you will be in Waterloo, make sure to check out our EngSoc day celebrations, the Charity Headshave and ComEng, our three big events on September 7!
I also just wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you for a great term B-Soc, I really enjoyed meeting all of you and working with you, and I am very excited to be back with you in the Winter term! As always, if you have any questions, or have anything else you’d like to hear about or ask me, please don’t feel shy to send me an email at president.b@engsoc.uwaterloo.ca anytime during the co-op term, and I’d be happy to chat! Talk to you soon, B-Soc!
