A message from the President and Vice-Chancellor, Vivek Goel
Each May, we recognize Asian Heritage Month at the University of Waterloo. It’s an opportunity to reflect on the histories, cultures and contributions of Asian communities, and to celebrate the many ways these perspectives continue to shape our university and our world.
Across our campuses, students, faculty and staff of Asian heritage contribute to every aspect of university life. They are researchers advancing discovery, educators shaping the next generation, staff supporting our community, and students enriching our shared experience. Their perspectives strengthen our teaching, deepen our research and expand our impact.
Our stories
Waterloo is fortunate to possess a dynamic community of individuals of Asian heritage.
