Current graduate students

The Writing and Communication Centre (WCC) wants to hear from you about your experience and needs as a graduate student! We're looking for your feedback about three potential new program models to support graduate students in developing their communication skills throughout the entire life cycle of their graduate programs.

We invite graduate students to participate in online focus groups to respond to and help shape these proposed new programs.

September 28, 2024 marks the 21st anniversary of the Gidinawendamin/Ska’nikú•lát annual Pow Wow.

This one-day non-competitive celebration of Indigenous heritage features vendors, dancers, and singers from the Waterloo region and beyond. Join us as we celebrate Indigenous culture and tradition through song, dance, arts, and cuisine. Gidinawendamin/Ska’nikú•lát Pow Wow is intended to be a safe, welcoming, and vibrant opportunity for Indigenous and non-Indigenous folks from the UWaterloo community and beyond to gather in celebration of indigenization, decolonization, and reconciliation.

Reading socio-political experiences through graffiti and street art in conflict-affected societies.

Street art and graffiti can provide socio-political commentary and rich insight into societies, cultures, social issues, trends, political discourse, and spatial and territorial identities and claims. Through his field research in Cyprus, Northern Ireland, and Canada, Dr. Eric Lepp will engage with graffiti as a spatial and temporal resource in societies undergoing social and political transformation.

Dr. Enayat Moallemi, Principal Research Scientist at Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), applies a holistic view of system interactions with modelling tools and knowledge co-production methods to design and evaluate decisions for sustainability transitions in an uncertain future.

In this workshop, participants will take part in the online version of the Warm Data Lab approach. We start with a story, and through context-spanning conversation we explore together what emerges, keeping in mind Nora's question "Who can I be when I am with you?" as we explore how people need people.
