Our Portfolios
Each portfolio reflects a different way our chapter mobilizes engineering and technology toward systemic change.
Behind every project, workshop, and event is the work of making sure our chapter has the resources to make it happen. The Finance Portfolio manages chapter budgeting, reimbursements, financial tracking, sponsorship support, and WUSA financial requirements.
The Education Portfolio develops case studies for upper-year courses at the University of Waterloo, as well as classroom workshops and outreach programming for elementary, middle, and high school students. Programming explores sustainability, ethics, global development, and responsible engineering at an age-appropriate level.
Our Advocacy Portfolio creates opportunities for students to engage with social and environmental issues and explore the systems behind them. Through awareness campaigns, policy discussions, systems thinking workshops, research, and campus initiatives, the team encourages our community to think critically about the issues shaping our world.
Through our partnership with Books in Hand, the Shipping Container Portfolio collects, organizes, and prepares educational and laboratory resources for shipment to partner communities in Eswatini. The team gives useful materials a second life while supporting access to educational resources.
Our Events Portfolio creates spaces for members to learn from one another, connect with alumni and collaborators, and build community within the chapter. From team socials and networking opportunities with industry to larger events and fundraisers, the team brings people together around the ideas and work of EWB.
Our member-run podcast creates space for thoughtful conversations about global development and the issues connected to it. Members plan, record, edit, and publish episodes featuring roundtable discussions and conversations with international guests, including professors, industry partners, and student innovators.
Social Media tells the story of our chapter and keeps our community connected. From highlighting projects and opportunities to creating educational and promotional content, the team manages UW EWB's digital presence across platforms such as Instagram and LinkedIn.
The Website Portfolio designs, develops, and maintains the digital infrastructure behind UW EWB. The team keeps our website current, accessible, and useful for students, members, partners, and anyone looking to learn more about our chapter.
