Hello A Soc, it is your friendly VP Internal Sarb here. Time flies so fast when you are having fun that it is really hard to believe almost half of this term is done. Fasten your seatbelts as you get to hear about the exciting things that have developed since my last update.
Semi formal
The semi formal this term was at Turret Nightclub on January 29 and it was a blast. I had the opportunity to talk to as many attendees as I could, and everyone I talked to had a good night. More than that, I was really amazed at the two amazing first years, Soorya (2020 Management Engineering) and Farayha (2020 Mechatronics Engineering), who helped run semi formal. Their commitment towards making semi formal a success was tremendous and their efforts truly were reflected by the satisfaction of the attendees.
I am working on having a collaboration with Arts Student Union for this fall’s semi formal. I hope you are as excited to collaborate with Arts in the fall term as I am.
Possible Interfaculty Collaboration for Mental Health Awareness Week
The mental health directors for this term are planning to have a mental health awareness blog on the EngSoc website. The first blog post will be up sometime before the end of February. If you are keen to share your mental health story with EngSoc, you can email our Mental Health directors with your story at engsocmha@gmail.com. Also, we will respect your privacy.
Our Mental Health Awareness Week is happening from February 29th to March 3rd. More details about this week will be posted soon. One of the things I am working towards is getting another faculty and a Feds service to join in a collaboration with us during Mental Health Awareness week.
