Events
PAIR Symposium: Black And Free Edition
What does freedom look like across history, health care, the arts, technology and innovation? This question will guide three days of conversation exploring Blackness and freedom, bringing together PAIR members, the University of Waterloo community, partners and guests to share ideas, build relationships and envision transformative futures.
Generative AI for Research: Finding Literature
Instructors will introduce key concepts behind generative AI, to help researchers understand how these technologies work and how they differ from traditional search tools.
Art for Well-Being
Arts for Well-Being is a free, drop-in program open to all students, staff, and faculty. You’re invited to pop by for a few minutes or stay for the entire session, and all skill levels are welcome.
Grieve and Weave
Grief takes many forms, grieving relationships, people, parts of ourselves, or eras of life we've outgrown or had to leave behind. Grieve & Weave is a welcoming space for students to come together, share conversations about grief in all its forms, and find connection through creativity.
Systematic and Scoping Reviews: Systematic Search Methods
Systematic and scoping reviews require a rigorous and reproducible search methodology. This workshop, a combination of presentation and interactive activities, outlines the expectations of a systematic search and provides practical experience in developing a search methodology which meets systematic standards.
Black, Indigenous and Racialized Students' Writing Café
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!
SCA 50th Anniversary Celebration
Celebrate with the Libraries as we mark 50 years of Special Collections & Archives at the University of Waterloo.

Take Our Kids to Work Day 2026
As part of the national Take Our Kids to Work Day, Waterloo is hosting activities on Wednesday, November 4th to allow Grade 9 students of Waterloo employees to explore careers and to shadow their UWaterloo employee host.
Abraham Oghobase: Notes to Self
Abraham Oghobase investigates the ways that photographic images shape memory and history. The artist’s mixed-media installation Onoriode (Who Knows Tomorrow?) references both his middle name and its translation from the Urhobo language. Exhibited in context with the large-scale print installation Notes to Self, these recent bodies of work are made in response to the tensions inherent to both the personal and historical archive.
