This past weekend, more than 1,000 people flooded the University of Waterloo campus to meet with old friends, celebrate milestone anniversaries and see how our institution has changed. The weekend included multiple events, hosted by Alumni Relations, Faculties, Schools, University Colleges and alumni volunteers.

Throughout 2022, the University of Waterloo set out to answer: "what do we aspire to be known for by our 100th anniversary in 2057?"

Once again, Waterloo alumni, faculty, staff, retirees and friends set new records on Giving Tuesday.

Hear the story of Waterloo graduate, Dan Colquhoun, a Principal Architect working on security systems at BlackBerry.

I remember the first time I set foot on uWaterloo campus.   Away from home...meeting new people, attending class lectures, being in residence...I was scared and excited!  But I found that the Dons in residence helped to make it a wonderful experience! 

I remember the day I approached my first Plan 100 class: "Introduction to Planning". I was 18 years old, away from home for the first time and anxious to meet the Urban & Regional Planning classmates with whom I'd be spending the next four years. I took a seat in the back row. Introductions were made. Smiles exchanged. Connections established.

Now you’re probably wondering why the Office of Alumni Relations would need, or want, to start a blog. Good question.  The answer is simply because on top of all the fabulous events we host around the world, we have a ton of neat things to share with you.
