Homecoming: Class of 2016, 10-year class reunion

Saturday, September 19, 2026 10:00 am - 9:30 pm EDT (GMT -04:00)
Classmates from Waterloo Environment Class of 2016 at Orientation

Ten years later, the Environment Class of 2016 is coming back together in Waterloo.

Between careers, moves and everything else life has brought over the past decade, opportunities to reconnect don't come around often. Homecoming offers a chance to revisit familiar places, reconnect with classmates from across Environment's undergraduate programs and spend time with the people who shared such an important chapter of your life.

Planning graduates in the GTA are also invited to a class dinner in Toronto that same evening.

We can't wait to welcome you back.

It's hard to believe that 10 years have flown by so quickly! We're excited to reconnect, catch up on where life has taken everyone, and celebrate this milestone together. We hope to see as many of you there as possible.
