Student Societies
Students are served by the Environment Students Society that has many roles including representation on various boards within and outside of the Faculty, event planning, student space improvements, management of a student coffee shop and more. Additionally, all students pay into WESEF (Waterloo Environment Students Endowment Fund) which has approved over $500,000 in student-led projects that benefit the students themselves.
Each program has their own student society that organizes events specifically for students within their program. These societies include Waterloo Environment and Business Students (WEBS), Environment and Resource Studies Student Association (ERSSA), Waterloo Association of Geography Students (WAGS), Student Association of International Development (SAID), Knowledge Integration Student Society (KISS), and Planning Student Association (PSA).

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or societies:
“They tend to be suspicious, bristly, paranoid-type people with huge egos they push around like some elephantiasis victim with his distended testicles in a wheelbarrow terrified no doubt that some skulking ingrate of a clone student will sneak into his very brain and steal his genius work.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
“The mere fact of leaving ultimate social control in the hands of the people has not guaranteed that men will be able to conduct their lives as free men. Those societies where men know they are free are often democracies, but sometimes they have strong chiefs and kings. ... they have, however, one common characteristic: they are all alike in making certain freedoms common to all citizens, and inalienable.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
