Student-led fund grows to $20 million
For over three decades, the now $20-million Waterloo Engineering Endowment Foundation (WEEF) has covered the cost of everything from significant pieces of equipment to Lego kits engineering students have put to good use.
Co-founders Avi Belinsky (BASc ’90, electrical engineering) and John Vellinga (BASc ’91, systems design engineering) came up with the idea for the fund over $2 beers in Carl Pollock Hall's POETs in 1989.
