Graduate House
The Graduate House is a hub for graduate students and their guests in a relaxed social space. It is a popular destination for the entire University of Waterloo community, where patrons can enjoy a home-cooked meal, meet with their peers and colleagues or just spend some time away from the office or lab.
The Graduate House has a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. The upper lounge is a great spot for marking papers, celebrating a thesis defense, holding a small presentation or hosting a small social gathering. The fully licensed boardroom is perfect for meetings and small private gatherings. The outdoor rooftop patio is a nice place to unwind and enjoy fresh air.
The large main floor features a multi-functional room where grad focused activities are held. The main bar area is an excellent place to drop in to connect with old and new friends.
Grad Student Association (GSA-UW)
The Graduate Student Association-University of Waterloo (GSA-UW) is the official representative of graduate students at the University of Waterloo. The GSA actively promotes and represents graduate student interests to the university administration and all levels of government.
The GSA provides a number of services for graduate students, such as legal aid, income tax aid, supplementary health and dental plans, GRT bus pass, and student advising.
The GSA operates a club-house featuring food and bar service, supporting local suppliers, graduate student space, and entertainment. We host on-and off-campus events, including family-friendly events. We also offer financial support for events organized by graduate student clubs and associations.
Women in Engineering (WiE)
Women in Engineering (WiE) supports current female engineers and students while encouraging the next generation of women to pursue careers in engineering. This program was established to address the issues that female engineers face and encourage more girls to pursue engineering and better reflect the gender ratio of the general population within the profession.
Engineering Equity and Diversity
Engineering EDI (Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion) is a new initiative on campus, catering to faculty, staff, and students within the Faculty of Engineering; our goals are in alignment with those of the University of Waterloo’s Office of EDI.
We strive to amplify events which support and bolster equity and inclusivity on campus, as well as host our own events to help students with similar experiences connect with one another. We also provide support to student groups and chapters such as AISES (American Indian Science and Engineering Society), EngiQueers, NSBE (National Society of Black Engineers), and WiE (Women in Engineering).
Sedra Student Design Centre
The Sedra Student Design Centre consists of over 20 000 square feet of space dedicated to design teams and student projects. There are more than two dozen design teams, all of which are student-led, and many of which represent Waterloo internationally. It is the largest facility of its type in North America.
The Iron Warrior
Screams tradition - it's the official newspaper of Waterloo Engineering. It's run completely by The Waterloo Engineering Society and is a great way for students to provide relevant news, information, opinions, and content to their peers.
