Each year, Knowledge Integration students bring ideas to life through immersive museum exhibits as part of their final capstone project. This year’s KI Exhibit invited visitors to reflect on our experiences in an increasingly digital world. 

Matthew Woodward’s interest in geography was sparked in his early high school days. Both his brother, Ben Woodward, and a high school teacher of his, Ms. Anderson, planted the seed. Now, in his undergrad at the University of Waterloo, he has been named a fellow of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society (RCGS), a great honour for any geographer. 

Take part in an exciting hands-on learning opportunity this spring in Egypt through Waterloo International’s Beyond Borders program, in collaboration with the Faculties of Environment and Science. Interested third- and fourth-year undergraduate students must express their interest in the program by December 1 to be considered for the course. 

The Faculty of Environment celebrates 178 new graduates this fall, including the first class of the Master of Future Cities program and PhD Alumni Gold Medalist Dr. Michelle Anagnostou, whose groundbreaking research at Oxford is helping dismantle illegal wildlife trade networks.

Under bright autumn skies and the buzz of conversation, the Faculty of Environment community gathered on the EV3 Green for its annual Fall Food Truck Social; a celebration of connection, conversation, and great tastes.

A warm welcome to our 700+ new undergraduate and graduate students! Whether you are a new or returning student, we want to support you in your transition to campus. Start by reviewing campus resources.
