Events

Congratulations on nearing the end of your studies at Waterloo! Graduating students (undergrad and grad), staff and faculty are invited to join Sheila Ager, Dean of the Faculty of Arts, to celebrate graduating students' achievements.

Registration is required.

What can Hannah Arendt’s life and work teach us about our present political moment? For the 2020 Grimm Lecture, the Waterloo Centre for German Studies presents Arendt scholar Samantha Rose Hill speaking about the renewed interest in Hannah Arendt’s work, and why we should be reading Arendt now to better understand the politics of today. PLEASE NOTE: THIS LECTURE WILL BE LIVE-STREAMED.

Join us for this term's Alumni in the Hub event with a virtual twist! COVID-19's complications for students in co-op and graduating students (shout-out to the class of 2020) have proved to be immensely challenging. 'Alumni in the Hub: Exploring Careers During Challenging Times' offers the opportunity to speak with three distinguished alumni with valuable advice and experiences to share. Hailing from the graduating classes of 2008 and 2009, our alumni entered a job market like no other, in the midst of a Canadian economic crisis.

Join us for this term’s Alumni in the Hub event, virtual edition! “Arts Alumni: An Unexpected Journey” explores the interesting and unique career paths taken by Arts alumni who have a bachelor’s degree in the arts but whose job/career trajectory defers from their major.

Given the uncertainties brought about by the pandemic, are you interested in knowing more about what the future of work might be? Come talk to industry HR professionals to learn more! 

The Indigenous Speakers Series returns this term with the first of our online events featuring Dr. Evan Adams addressing the impacts of COVID-19 on Indigenous communities in Canada.

Join us for this term’s Careers for English Majors event, virtual edition!
