Why do you give?

“I have fond memories of my years as a Waterloo student, and it brings me joy to contribute towards younger cohorts having similar or even better experiences than what I had!”

“My commitment and passion as a Waterloo alum is unwavering after 44 years and I will continue to give back both professionally and financially, focusing on fundraising opportunities to address current and future funding challenges while developing pride and lifelong relationships with Waterloo alumni and students.”

“As a proud University of Waterloo Math graduate and Alumni Council member, I support the Giving Day Campaign to help inspire and empower the next generation of innovators. My path — from co-op student to investment banker, to author and entrepreneur — was built on the strong foundation provided by the University. I am giving back to the community that has been instrumental in shaping my career and success.”

“Attending the University of Waterloo was a formative experience for me and set me on a successful career path. I want current students to benefit from their experience and be able to chart their path to success.”

“My time at the University of Waterloo will always hold a special place in my heart. The experiences I had and the friendships I formed are a lasting part of who I am. I’ll always do what I can to help others create their own memorable experiences — ones that bring a smile to their face whenever they look back on their time at the University.”

“I’m supporting Giving Day because Waterloo gave me the foundation for my success, and I want to help future students build theirs.”

“My career has benefited greatly from the first principles approach and critical thinking I learned in the Engineering program at the University of Waterloo. It is an honour and a privilege to give back to the University by supporting its mission of educating future innovators and leaders.”

“My Waterloo student experience provided me with the essential building blocks for a successful career and a network of lifelong friends.  I continue to pay it forward each year to make certain those building blocks are still helping to shape bright futures for our current students.”
