SAF Faculty Profile Stories

OBJECTIVE: To put into action SAF's strategic theme of Scholarship Excellence and build SAF's reputation in thought leadership.

GOAL: Tell humanizing stories of SAF faculty members that are engaging and of interest to a broader audience of prospective and current students, alumni, and the Waterloo community.

SUBMISSION AND STORY SIGN-OFF: The details you submit do not need to be polished nor in sentence form. Point form is acceptable. The Communications Team will use the content submitted to draft a profile story for you. We will send the draft story for your review and feedback before finalizing and publishing.

HOW WE'LL BE USING YOUR BIO STORY: 

  1. Faculty profile stories will be published on the SAF website and linked to the faculty member's bio page.
  2. Faculty members can use these profile stories as an introduction for their courses.
  3. Profile stories can serve as a companion piece to amplify the promotion of a faculty member's research story.
