At 10 AM on Monday, a special Women in Science and Engineering (WISE)
workshop will be offered. All female Frosh are encouraged to attend this
free event. Speakers will include recent Carleton University Engineering
graduates, and representatives from the Faculty of Engineering.
|
|
Monday’s activities emphasize group bonding and unity. Frosh will meet at
noon in the MacKenzie Engineering Quad. You should provide your own
lunch. Then, we’ll head over to the MacKenzie Engineering Field for “Will's Games”.
|

“Will's Games” is a collection of initiative tasks designed to promote
cohesiveness and spirit within the groups. Much like the classroom,
“Will’s Games” challenge you to work under pressure in a team atmosphere.
One of the challenges presented at “Will's Games” is the VolleyBall Net
event, in which groups must cross over a fully raised volleyball net
without ever touching the net itself. Amazingly, in 1997 an entire team
of 40 Frosh, including one individual in a wheelchair, cleared the net.
Another challenge faced by groups during the day's events: holding a
five-tiered human pyramid long enough to get a good photo!
|
|
“Will's Games” will wrap up about 6 PM, with the presentation of prizes to
the groups who achieved the highest scores and fastest times. Groups will
then head off to their individual party place for dinner and Group Night.
|
|
|
Group Night is organized by the Leader and Facils of your group, and
they’ll provide transportation to and from Group Night. You will be
provided with coveralls in your Frosh kit, and Group Night is a great
opportunity to decorate them with your group's theme. The coveralls are an
awesome way to show off your Engineering pride!

Group night is always a blast; some activities in the past have included
dying the Frosh purple, pool parties, visiting other universities, and
other wild events.
