Over the years, it has generally become difficult to find out what clubs or groups are holding events, leading to a lot of spam over email and Facebook. This year EngSoc was able to develop an online platform, called the Skule Calendar, where students can find out what they’re interested in. Additionally, you can filter clubs/categories on or off to more easily identify some events that appeal to you, as well as being able to sync events calendars directly to your Google account. This will be an ongoing project, requiring regular updating, but will optimistically revolutionize the way that students learn about events and student groups, while also having a much farther reach than Facebook events. | Over the years, it has generally become difficult to find out what clubs or groups are holding events, leading to a lot of spam over email and Facebook.

Traditionally, each year Project Directors have been elected at a meeting of Council, specifically the Joint Council Meeting. After years of criticism regarding its structure, lengthy process, and considerable time wasted in debate, the 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 years saw the creation of a committee to investigate a potentially better alternative. After several consultations and considerations, it was decided that a large body, such a Council, is not effective for making decisions, so instead more power should be put in the hands of the hiring committee.
