New Poll!
Oct 19th
The EUS is hoping to find out what you would like to see more of on campus at UBC Okanagan. Would you like us to host more industry related speakers or field trips? More social mixers? Let us know how we can best support you on campus by responding to the poll on the right side of this page.
If you have any specific ideas for events, feel free to leave a comment on this post. We should hopefully have a more in depth survey going in the next week if you would like to provide us with more feedback. There might even be a prize!

Pi Throw 2010
Mar 7th
“Officially”, Pi Day occurs each year on March 14th (or 3.14). Over the past two years, the EUS has hosted Pi Day either on the day itself or as close to the day as possible. Each year, a few hundred dollars is donated to the Kelowna Community Food Bank from this event.
Pi’s can be purchased for a minimum donation of $5.00 for a specific target on campus on March 15th. EUS Volunteers will go around to “deliver” these pi’s to the lucky recipient, and present them with the option of being pi’d in the face, paying money to redirect this pi to a third party, or pay to neutralize it.
We are currently looking for volunteers to help advertise this event and to help Pi people on the day of. Send an email to president@ubcoengineers.com if you’re interested in either of these opportunities!
Partial proceeds of this event will go towards the Kelowna Community Food Bank through Campus Life’s “Ten Thousand Tin Night” campaign.

Engineering and People
Feb 16th
Engineering and people is a topic not really taught at school. Tom Tasaka, project director at SNC-Lavalin, will help prepare us for the engineering environment that we are soon diving into by sharing his personal experiences and valuable “lessons learned”. Hopefully he will save us some of the trouble of learning the hard way!
Join us for a short one hour talk on Thursday, February 25th at 4:00pm in ART 366.
