Current graduate students

Are you looking to solve big problems, but you’re not sure where to start? In this online workshop, Rachel Figueiredo, Waterloo’s entrepreneurship librarian, will show you how to understand the landscape of a problem and possibly identify how you might contribute to a solution. By integrating Library-subscription and openly available tools, attendees will learn how to research efficiently so they can get back to solving problems.

This workshop will consist of 50 minutes of instruction and 10 minutes of Q&A. Presentation materials will be available to registrants after the workshop.

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a multi-disciplinary tool that is widely used across the architecture industry. Attend this 30-minute speed run session to learn how you can get started using GIS.

This presentation, with a question & answer session, will discuss what GIS is, give examples of its use within the architecture industry, and provide instructions on how to access GIS software.

Join the WCC in the GSA lounge to make progress revising your doctoral CIHR, NSERC, or SSHRC scholarship research proposal! We'll start with some brief general advice from the WCC on structuring and revising your proposal. Then you'll have an opportunity to apply that advice and get individualized feedback from WCC staff and other applicants in a workshopping and peer review session. Work alongside other graduate students in a supportive environment as you draft and revise your proposal.

We'll have WCC staff standing by to offer feedback and answer questions about your research proposal document as you work!

Please bring a copy of your research proposal in progress with you, along with anything else you will need to work on it (e.g. a laptop).

Looking for a writing community? Grab a coffee and get writing! Join our network of graduate student writers at the in-person Writing Café! Meet other writers, stay on track, and make progress in your work. Writing doesn’t have to be solitary!

A space where you can write without judgment, rest without guilt, and connect with peers navigating similar challenges in their academic journeys.

Drop in to write, meet with a writing advisor, or just enjoy a warm drink and a moment of calm. No pressure, no critique—just a space to be seen, supported, and productive on your own terms.

Write in community – not in isolation.
