The exhibit is curated by Carol Penner, Director of Theological Studies at Conrad Grebel University College, and Sadie Ingle, a current Masters of Theological Studies student.

I Saw You in the Archive is a multidisciplinary exhibition that reveals the history of eugenic practices in Kitchener-Waterloo in the mid 20th century, and questions how the framing of history impacts our personal understandings of each other’s identities. Mixing visuals associated with institutional archives and rubber factories, the artworks examine the former Kaufman Rubber Company and its owner A. R. Kaufman’s attempts to contain certain types of people, particularly those deemed ‘feeble-minded’

The Story of Tiles and Ropes In-Between / داستان سفال‌ها و طناب‌ها moves through the fragile space of migration, where memory, material, and motion intertwine. It is about swinging: swinging between two roofs, swinging between two landscapes. It is about the fragility of a roof, the fragility of a memory. Suspended between Northern Iran and Canada, the work reflects gestures to find belonging—the stitching, the carrying, the quiet resistance of the body as it navigates cultural displacement.

In this workshop, we’ll discuss the purpose of Q&As and defences, teach you how to prepare for questions from your audience and share strategies to ask and answer questions clearly. This workshop works best if you’re preparing for a presentation with a significant Q&A portion (like a defence). Throughout this workshop, we’ll ask you to think about your department’s defence culture, anticipate questions about your research, and practice asking and answering questions with your peers.

If you dread the Q&A portion of a presentation or defence, this workshop will help you feel more confident about giving your answers.

Cornerstone helps students from any faculty who are enthusiastic to explore their potential ideas, and that want to join a like-minded community over two weeks to take action.

The Cornerstone program is focused on getting outside the university to speak to potential customers and simplifies the process of taking the next step, building confidence, and opening doors to build your idea for real.

No pitch deck. No pressure. No technical skills required
Cornerstone is Velocity’s challenge where over two weeks you’ll test your idea, potentially meet your first users, and build confidence in your idea. You’ll join a supportive community of students who are all taking their first steps into entrepreneurship — with coaching, mentorship, and the chance to win prizes.
