The Department of Drama and Speech Communication, the Equity Office, and the Special Adviser to the President-Women’s and Gender Issues, are pleased to announce a panel discussion addressing gendered violence, with specific attention to institutional challenges and UWaterloo’s response.

The Waterloo Institute for Social Innovation and Resilience (WISIR) is honoured to host Vanessa Andreotti, Canada Research Chair in Race, Inequalities and Global Change, University of British Columbia.

Come join us for our second panel discussion as part of the Science & Technology in Society Panel Discussion series focused on Ethics in Science, and Science in Ethics.

This two day Summit will showcase the research of the 2019 Global Engagement Seminar students. Interactive student exhibitions will be on display, inviting participation from the broader Waterloo community. We hope to engage in important conversations about the impacts of artificial intelligence, such as automation of jobs, corporate ownership, biases of algorithms and privacy concerns. The objective is to contribute towards the development of meaningful responses to timely global issues.

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.
