Events
UWaterloo Charity Handmade Market
The Waterloo Handmade Charity Market is a student-led fundraising event supporting the Kitchener-Waterloo Humane Society, where Waterloo students sell handmade items like crafts, art, and jewelry. Vendors contribute a $20 booth fee, with 100% of the proceeds donated to KWHS, and visitors who donate $1 or more receive a printed photo or postcard of an adoptable animal. The event aims to create a welcoming campus atmosphere that promotes animal welfare while showcasing student creativity.

Black, Indigenous, and Racialized Students' Writing Cafe
The Black, Indigenous and Racialized Students' Writing Café is a social writing group. Unlike traditional peer feedback-based writing groups, we don’t read each other’s finished writing: instead, we write together to create a community of writers who can cheer each other on during what is often an isolating, difficult journey!
In-person Grad Writing Cafés
Grab a coffee and get writing. Join our network of graduate student, postdoc, and faculty writers at the Grad Writing Café! Meet other writers, stay on track, and make progress on your work. Writing doesn't have to be solitary!
The Stories We Carry
Through structured writing prompts and activities, you’ll have the opportunity to explore a genre that speaks to you—whether that be poetry, fiction, storytelling, or something in between.
All genres and experience levels welcome!
Cornerstone
What is Cornerstone? Cornerstone is Velocity's two-week sprint for students and researchers from any faculty who want to explore an idea they have or even just an area of interest with a supportive community.
