Equity & Inclusivity Award Call for Nominations
The FAUW Equity Committee is currently seeking nominations for the 2023 Equity & Inclusivity Award.
Inaugurated in 2012, the Equity & Inclusivity Award recognizes a member, group, or affiliate of the University of Waterloo community. The award is meant to further support individuals or groups who have demonstrated an exemplary commitment to improving equity, inclusivity, and/or diversity at the University of Waterloo.
We've got a new website!
As you can see, we have a new website! We've moved into the latest version of the Waterloo Content Management System and taken the opportunity to move things around in a way that we hope works better for members. Some of the changes include:
- A 'timeline of achievements' that captures many of the highlights of our work over the last few years.
- The Policy Development section, which now has background and updates on all Class-F policies in progress.
- How FAUW works: This page explains the functions of each of the key roles and bodies within FAUW.
- Updates to the Faculty Guide to Working with Waterloo.
- A breakdown of where your dues go.
- And more!
