We acknowledge that we live and work on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. The University of Waterloo is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land promised to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River.
Hailing from diverse academic and cultural backgrounds, the MBET Class of 2016 is united by their creativity, ambition, and drive to innovate.
Each individual brings unique experiences and perspectives, contributing to a dynamic class environment where collaboration trumps competition, and students work together to accomplish goals, overcome challenges, and celebrate successes.
