Keystone campaign

The Keystone Campaign inspires the campus community to engage in philanthropy

Every year our family of faculty, staff and retirees volunteer countless hours on campus and donate more than $1 million to support the University of Waterloo.

Whether you’re passionate about helping students in financial need, you wish to support a special research project, or the University’s highest priority, your gifts make a tangible difference on campus. 

Thank you to all of our faculty, staff, and retirees for their tireless efforts and dedication supporting the Faculty of Environment.

Taking students on research trips has been one of the highlights of Ellsworth's 40-year career. “These were wonderful experiences for the students and me, and is one reason that I have contributed to the UW International Student Mobility fund to allow students in our Faculty to explore and study other regions of the world.”

Retirees

Barbara Yeaman

Since Barbara retired, she has maintained relationships with former students, staff, and faculty members. When asked why she continues her support, she is emphatic. "Waterloo is still a young institution with a modern outlook on education. It emphasizes outreach and has become a remarkable presence in today's global society."
