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.

Waterloo Tech Week is a celebration of what's been built here, and what's still to come. We're bringing together builders from all over to share their experiences with others - creating a way for anyone to connect with the people, ideas, and values that define this community. Whether through a panel, demo night, workshop, meetup, or something entirely new, there'll be an event for everyone at Waterloo Tech Week.

September 30th marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

On this day we honour the lost children and Survivors of residential schools, their families and communities. Widespread public commemoration and acknowledgement of the tragic and painful history, continued impact, and intergenerational trauma of Canada's residential school legacy is a vital component of the reconciliation process. The University of Waterloo and the Office of Indigenous Relations continue to amplify that truth as we build towards reconciliation. We will also highlight the beauty and resilience of indigeneity, and the strengthening of bonds with allies as we navigate this complex and meaningful day.
