Beyond the degree pivots, people, and possibilities
Your degree is just the beginning.
Join Mary Wells and three Waterloo Engineering alumni for an afternoon of honest conversation about the careers they built, the risks they took and the moments that changed everything. From tech leadership to founding companies, their journeys look nothing like what they imagined as students and that is exactly what makes them worth hearing.
Space is limited, so register today.
We hope you will join us!
