Publication Cycle The Publication has now gone through an entire issue release cycle. This involved a call for papers, a peer review of all the submissions, an editor’s final decision on each submission, and publication of the accepted papers. Sadly, only two submissions were recieved during this publication cycle. Of those two, only one met the peer reviewer’s collective standard of quality. The one article has since been changed into html format and published to the website. Due to the lack of multiple papers, this issue will not see its own collective PDF file created but rather will only link… Read More

Congress Update – Administration Commissioner

Categories: Officer Updates

Since my last update, I have continued to collect, sort, and forward all mail as necessary. I have re-organized and filled the Google Drive “electronic library” of bank statements. The project is now completed and simplified, and just needs to be kept up-to-date monthly. I worked actively with the VPFA in order to prepare for our financial audit for 2013-2014 with Deloitte, which is nearly complete.

As mentioned in my previous update, the main focus of the Vice President Services portfolio has been the National Engineering Month Poster competition. Unfortunately, a lot of what is still expected of this project is dependent on who will be sponsoring the event. Engineers Canada has been supportive of the idea of the event and has expressed their interest in providing prizes for the competition, however the details of this are unconfirmed. Whichever organization supports this project will have their logo on the promotional poster of this event, and for that reason, both of the pending deliverables are not yet… Read More
