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).

—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
