Reception

The School of Architecture is excited to invite alumni who graduated in a year ending in a 0 or 5 for a special reunion celebration! For those with multiple degrees received from Waterloo Architecture, we invite you to count from your first degree awarded (i.e. 1980, 1985, 1990… etc.)

Join your classmates for a casual gathering in the afternoon at the Cambridge campus, where we’ll host a talk and a tour of Waterloo Architecture’s 2025 Masterworks exhibition on view in Riverside Gallery, featuring exemplary thesis projects from several recent architecture graduate students.

It's a full day of discovery at TronCon 2025! TronCon will coincide with the Mechatronics Capstone Design Symposium to give alumni an opportunity to view the newest batch of Capstone design projects (FYDPs) by fourth year mechatronics students, get involved in judging the capstone design projects, and reconnect with the Tron community at the event and at the dinner that follows. 

Waterloo Engineering recent alumni are invited to participate in an exclusive virtual conversation with Waterloo Engineering alumna, Lisa Tong (BASc ’01, Chemical Engineering), who recently published her book Hello (World) Me, a personal self-guided coach to self, awareness, understanding, and choices — to creating the life YOU want. 

Waterloo Engineering students and alumni are invited to participate in an exclusive in-person workshop with Waterloo Engineering alumnus Ron Ojanpera (BASc 1969, mechanical engineering). The “Working the Room” workshop is based on 50 years of Ron’s personal business experience.  

Please join us on the slopes to ski or snowboard at these exclusive and beautiful private resorts in the Blue Mountains (near Collingwood)! We’ll also be welcoming your classmates from the Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Health and the Faculty of Science to join us on the hills.

Innovations in technology have advanced every aspect of our human lives — often with engineers at the helm. One such example is the intersection of health care and technology, as showcased by the University of Waterloo’s Global Futures framework which highlights the importance of health tech in our future world.

There are many urgent and exciting opportunities for engineers to step in and help redesign health care systems, innovate solutions and develop new ways of solving problems for the good of society.

Join this live event in Toronto with a panel of engineers, researchers and health tech entrepreneurs who will discuss how — in our rapidly changing world, challenged by rising costs and lack of access — engineering can help advance health care through technology.

The conversation will focus on how engineers can work towards solutions for optimal health care, showcase innovative research, discuss strategies for retaining health tech startups in Canada, identify challenges, explore opportunities and propose actionable solutions to foster an innovative and thriving health tech ecosystem in the country. 

The Faculties of Engineering, Mathematics and Science are delighted to host an alumni reception in Seattle in October. At this games night and social, you will enjoy great food and refreshments as well as fun games (unlimited mini golf and duffleboard) while you personally connect with your University of Waterloo classmates as well as students on work terms in Seattle and area.

Cost is $20 CND per person. Each ticket includes one drink, appetizers and games.

The Waterloo Engineering alumni class reunion in 2025 is taking place on June 6 and 7 at Reunion Weekend. The engineering Classes of 1965, 1970, 1975, 1980, 1985, 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015 and 2020 are invited to campus to celebrate this milestone in their engineering career.

The Recent Engineering Alumni Council (REAC) invites alumni to cheer on the Toronto Blue Jays as they take on the St. Louis Cardinals on September 13. Tickets include a ticket to the game in section 517 and a limited edition Blue Jays and University of Waterloo co-branded tumbler.

The Deans of the Faculties of Engineering, Mathematics, and Science, invites you and a guest to an exclusive alumni reception at Sentry for an evening of networking with University of Waterloo alumni and co-op students currently on work term in San Francisco and the Bay Area.
