"It's really worth a trip over here," says Wendy Stoneman in electrical and computer engineering. "Everything is decorated to the nines -- you'd think you were down south someplace." She denies that E&CE is actually going to have its noontime beach picnic outdoors, but look for them spread out on the second floor of the Davis Centre.
Anne Wagland writes from human resources:
Human Resources' theme is "Those Lazy, Hazy, Crazy Days of Summer" -- and pretty much anything goes! Individuals will wear their favourite summer outfits, whether they be stylish, sporting or otherwise. We will be setting up a beach scene in reception; will play beachball volleyball in our main office; drink lemonade and munch on nachos and salsa, and listen to Juno award winning music from the last 10 years (with just a little Beach Boys thrown in for good measure). To cap the day off, we will adjourn to a country pub for supper and a cold beer -- a great way to end a long summer day!Institutional analysis and planning will be operating a lemonade stand on the third floor of Needles Hall; enthusiasts in optometry are promising "a day on the Eyeland"; the bookstore has summery promotions in the windows; and so on and so on. Your coffee and other "bulk" drinks are 29 cents all day at food services in honour of the sunshine.
Make the Sun Shine In Day has been sparked by a campus-wide committee of staff, but really it's the sum total of little activities all over campus, making the most of February 29. You might say it's a bright idea.
Data prior to the original computer match run was recovered and so we were in a position to put the run through again. The list of students who were not matched was displayed at 2:40 p.m. (only 2 hours and 40 minutes later than we normally post it). The list of students with employment was displayed around 4:00 p.m. (only 1 hour later than we normally post it). So, thanks to some terrific sleuthing by Data Processing together with a number of Co-op Education people, we were able to get the results of the employer interviews out to the students today after all.
Lynn Judge, until now associate registrar (graduate studies), gets a new title as well: "director of graduate studies services". Rowe's memo notes that the director reports to the dean (not to the registrar of the university) and "is responsible for the administration of registrarial services for graduate studies and for the implementation of Senate regulations as they pertain to graduate studies throughout the University of Waterloo".
Among other highlights are a student panel discussion this afternoon on "Leveraging your Educational Experience: Are Universities and Students Doing Enough?", and tonight's dinner with guest speakers Alex Murray and Barry McPherson of Wilfrid Laurier University (dean of business and dean of graduate studies, respectively). Tomorrow, things continue; Bob Gillham of UW's earth sciences department gives one of the talks, under the title "Planned Discovery: A Case Study of an Oxymoron".
The Potato People present "The Family Tree", a kids' show, at 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. in the Humanities Theatre.
