EngFrosh '98 What's New
UPDATED INFORMATION AND NEWS

Sunday, July 19   Updated webpage with new information   William Sitch

Worked on the webpage all day yesterday and finished up today. Changed from a frame-based system to what you see now. Allows bookmarking, easier navigation - it was also really bothering me.

Updated the schedule of events to reflect the changes outlined below, recompiled the PDF versions of the Frosh Mailout and Frosh Application Form, and did some other much-needed site maintenance.

 
Thursday, July 16   Got Frosh mailouts from printers   William Sitch
John Danson

John and I picked up 600 Frosh mailouts from the printers, and brought them to the Engineering Registrars Office. Oops, we goofed: the envelope attached in the mailout has the wrong return address! Luckily, it wasn't completely wrong, and everything will work out fine.

 
Tuesday, July 14   91.100: Drafting Kit update   William Sitch

Due to a freak chance email from a professor, we found out that instrument drawing will no longer be a part of the Engineering course 91.100: Orientation to Engineering. We were approximately one week away from sending a $15,000 cheque to Staedler.

Due to the 'doubling of the pipeline' initative Carleton University is currently undertaking, the increased enrollment in Engineering has made instrument drawing impossible due to physical constraints on the number of desks. Content for the 91.100 course is still up in the air.

John and I believe that if we had to take 91.100, you should too - but the Administration just wouldn't listen.

The Frosh Mailout could not be reprinted in time for the Thursday/Friday deadline, so we printed 600 inserts, saying: "Please don't buy the Drafting Kits!". Kudos go out to the Office of the Dean of Engineering, for helping make things right.

 
Sunday, July 11   Updated Frosh Mailout with CUSA concert information   William Sitch

Spent the entire weekend working on the Frosh Mailout revisions brought about by the CUSA concert change of events. Got the new Mailout burnt onto CDROM and to the printers by Sunday night - lets hope we can make the Thursday/Friday deadline.

 
Thursday, July 9   CUSA: Concert date change   William Sitch

Taline (CUSA PrepWeek Coordinator) called me at work with the horrible news: the concert was being rescheduled. After a session with the agents of Holly McNarland and 54.40, the concert date was changed from Thursday night to Wednesday night.

The good news is that 54.40 and Holly McNarland are coming to play a live concert for CUSA, and all Engineering Frosh and Facils are going for free!

I called the printers and cancelled the print job. Our representative there was upset. She mentioned that she had never experienced a print job without problems.

Wednesday is Bungee Day - and we could not reschedule, so we're going to do everything in just ONE day. The Mailout must be changed, so Frosh don't show up Thursday expecting a concert.

 
Before July   Everything else   William Sitch
John Danson

Everything else happened before July, we just didn't keep a log. Approximately six months of work preceeded what you see here, including several thousand webpage changes (kudos to Laura for her persistance of vision) and a couple of million planning sessions.
