Back To School Apartment Crawl
This apartment crawl is hosted on the first weekend after school starts in September, and allows new engineering students to get to know each other and encourage them to apply to JC, all while having a super fun time!
Ice Cream Social
Free Frostbite ice cream is given out in the Engineering Common Room to introduce first year students to the members of JC and get to know what JC does! This is a social you do not want to miss.
Therapy Dogs
At the end of each semester, JC hosts a chill event where we have tea, snacks, and most importantly, therapy dogs! This event is meant to help students destress before exams start and is always a wholesome time.
Networking Conference
First year students often have a tough time learning to network and start pursuing a career. That's why every year, JC hosts a networking conference with talks from alumni, industry professionals, and experts from the Engineering Career Centre.
Power Hour
Power Hour is an event that consists of participants drinking a shot of their drink every minute for one hour. It's an iconic JC event that you don't want to miss, with a super-fun theme every semester! All engineers and friendgineers are welcome!
