HELLLLOOOOOOO ENGSOC!!!!

I have lots of wonderful news for you this time! It’s my second last report now; I can’t believe I haven’t been impeached or something yet.

Some updates from Joint Council: we passed three awesome motions that pertain to my position.

EngSoc Capital Improvements Fund

This is now a committee that decides where our capital funds go each term. Applications for ideas are now on the EngSoc website! Contact me if you want more info!

Fee Increase

Council passed an EngSoc fee increase from $14.25 to $14.72 to account for inflation. We have not raised our fee since Spring 2008, so we’ve definitely lost some buying power since then.

Perpetual Fee Increase

To make sure we don’t forget to increase the fee to accommodate inflation, Council introduced a constitutional amendment so that they are now required to put forth such a motion at each Joint Council. Now we can have constant buying power every year!

Pre-meeting Refunds Update

I was mandated to look into refund data at our last meeting. In the spirit of this mandate, Mary and I looked into refund numbers, and here is some preliminary data. There is really no trend so far; I’ll have more data for you at tonight’s Council meeting!

Coverall day is coming soon! Keep a look out.

GOOOOODBYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYE ENGSOC!!!!!
