Expertise Finder is UWaterloo's open-access searchable database intended to help journalists and media outlets find UWaterloo experts. It also serves as an opportunity for you to share your areas of expertise with broader audiences.
Managed by the university's Media Relations team in collaboration with the Arts communication team, an Expertise Finder profile includes your contact information, titles and affiliations, expertise area/s, and a link to your home unit profile webpage. Having a profile in this database means you are open to journalists/outlets requesting your expert commentary (if journalists follow protocol, they will make such requests via Media Relations). Media Relations staff offer guidance and coaching resources for interacting with media.
If you're a new Arts faculty member or do not have an Expertise Finder profile, use this form to share your information, which we'll forward to Media Relations to add to Expertise Finder.
Arts Faculty members already included in Expertise Finder, please use this form to update any aspects of your profile. If you prefer to have your Expertise Finder profile removed, please let us know.
