Attend a virtual ceremony to recognize the recipients of the Co-operative and Experiential Education (CEE) Employer Impact Awards on Thursday, October 7, 2021 at 12:00 p.m. ET.

This event will honour CEE employers who have made a significant and meaningful impact on their co-op students, their industry and on our campus community.

Dr. Michael Dan offers a brief history of the impacts of colonialism, genocide and ultimately the intergenerational trauma which persists today for Indigenous peoples living in Canada. For non-Indigenous Canadians, September 30, Orange Shirt Day, is a day of reflection, a time to confront the truths Dr. Dan will address.

The Faculty of Environment invites you to attend a special Speakers Series on Decolonizing Methodologies for Respectful Sustainability Research this fall.

Sessions will take place during the last week of each month. The first session, featuring Dr. Ranjan Datta from Mount Royal University Calgary, is on Sept 29 from 12- 1:30 pm.

Following the Speaker presentation STEC will share information about post-talk interactive reflection sessions.

In honour of The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, join the Indigenous Initiatives Office and the President's Anti-Racism Taskforce (PART) for a special keynote presentation with Dr.Kathy Absolon on Truth & Reconciliation, Indian Residential Schools.

The goal of the Truth & Reconciliation presentation is about raising awareness of the tragic history of the residential school system. It examines the history and policies that lead to the creation of the Residential Schools, their legacies, how they have impacted Indigenous people, and why truth and reconciliation is important.

On September 21, join us and hundreds of Canadians of all ages to learn more about the Mohawk Institute Residential School through The Woodland Cultural Centre. Since we cannot be there in person, the Cultural Centre has generously created a virtual opportunity to connect, learn and engage.

Space is limited and registration is required. Since space is limited, please cancel your place by contacting hrei.trainings@uwaterloo.ca if you are unable to attend so that others can experience and learn from this opportunity.

Join us for a research talk with panellists Lai-Tze Fan, Jessica Thompson, and Jin Sol Kim.

About the panel

Invisible Stories (Dr. Lai-Tze Fan)

Lai-Tze Fan will uncover how writing machines (typewriters, word processors, and computers) have been associated with women's invisible labour since the late 19th C and will briefly discuss how women have since used them as communication tools to empower themselves through creative output, community building, and critical intervention.

Waterloo Womxn + Nonbinary Wednesdays is putting a twist on its annual September meet & greet. Whether you're still at home or back on campus this fall, we invite you to give us a quick live virtual tour of your workspace, or share photos in the chat, and get to know other womxn and nonbinary members of the UW community.

This event is open to womxn and nonbinary graduate students, staff, postdocs, and faculty.

In this seminar learn how Knowledge Integration (KI) alumni Sukhi Chuhan and Skaidra Puodziunas have landed careers at the Ontario Digital Service, how their foundational degrees in KI shaped their public sector experience, and why embracing KI principles like ambiguity, collaboration and complex problem solving have never been more important.
