Menopause is a transitional stage in many people’s lives and affects not only people experiencing this stage in life, but those around them including colleagues, family and friends. Education, resources and support have the potential to create more comfortable and inclusive communities and workplaces and empower people through this transition.

You're invited to join Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs for a viewing of finalist GRADflix submissions before the winners are announced.

GRADflix is a research communication competition for University of Waterloo graduate students. Participants create a video of 60 seconds or less to share their research with a non-specialized audience.

Please join us for the closing reception of "i look to the skies" an exhibition by Palestinian-Canadian artist Jude Abu Zaineh on Saturday March 7 from 1-3 pm. The artist will lead a gallery walk-thru discussing her ideas and the development of the artworks in the exhibition. This is a great opportunity to meet the artist and hear her discuss her work in-person.
