The University of Waterloo will celebrate the life and legacy of President Emeritus Douglas Tyndall Wright with a special event on September 23.
Wright, who served as the first dean of the Faculty of Engineering from 1958 to 1966 and as Waterloo’s third president and vice-chancellor from 1981 to 1993, passed away on May 21, 2020.
As his death occurred during the pandemic, the University was unable to properly mark his passing in a significant way.
In collaboration with the Wright family, Waterloo will honour the legacy of Douglas Wright, his achievements and how he shaped the University’s future at a special Celebration of Life event on September 23 at 11 a.m. The event will be livestreamed on YouTube.
