It was a big week for me last week, with annual events including St. Patrick’s Day and my birthday being topped up with my first ever UW Pi Day experience, and my last two events as keynote speaker in the UW GOLD on the Go series.
My husband Eli and I graduated from the University of Waterloo's Honours Arts and Business Co-op program in 2014. We have always been interested in innovation and entrepreneurship so this program suited us very well. While still attending UWaterloo, we played a game that we liked but thought we could make better and more convenient for others to play, so we formed a partnership with Eli's brother, Camren, and his wife, Krissy, to do just that.
On Wednesday we celebrated International Women’s Day, but women should be celebrated every day so today we wanted to celebrate the impact Komal Minhas (GDip '14) is having around the world.
While I was a student at UWaterloo, I never considered myself very athletic. Especially compared to my friends who played on the men's varsity hockey and the swim team.
I have been involved in many battles over the years since I started boxing at the age of 16, but my current battle is one of the fiercest yet.
For me, Fantastic Alumni Day at the University of Waterloo is all about family. It begins with my dad, mom, sister, and me suiting up for the big game in our black and gold apparel.
I was born on a farm in Northern Ontario in 1938. After graduating from high school at the age of eighteen, I taught public school for a year, worked as a laboratory technician in a chromium plant for a year, and saved enough money to register in a very new co-operative engineering degree program at UWaterloo.
I was born a Warrior. For math alumni, it means in a sample size of 36 family members, 42% of my extended family and 100% of my immediate family are Waterloo alumni. For AHS alumni, it means I am unstoppable.

I started at the University of Waterloo in the fall of 1992 as a young woman who had planned most of her life to become “an artist” and throughout high school had been focused on becoming a concert pianist. Secretly though, I wanted to be a dancer.
