Welcome to EDGE

Thanks for visiting EDGE, the University of Waterloo's new experiential education certificate program. EDGE gives Waterloo students in regular (non-co-operative) programs an opportunity to develop key professional skills, explore their career options, and market themselves to employers.

The EDGE team offers drop-in advising through The Centre (Needles Hall) on Tuesday mornings (9:00-12:00 PM). To make an appointment outside those hours, contact us at edge@uwaterloo.ca.

Looking for us?

The EDGE team's offices are located in East Campus 1 (EC1). EC1 is located in the northeast corner of campus at the intersection of Columbia Street and Phillip Street. If you need a little more help finding us, our building is circled in red on the map below:
