New faculty

New Faculty Orientation aims to help new faculty members acclimatize to the University of Waterloo and get to know our campus resources and support systems. Over two days and four online sessions, 2021 orientation attendees will learn about the culture and community at Waterloo, how the University supports and integrates teaching and research, and opportunities to build your career and skills. Each session will include time for audience questions. 

The Faculty Association of the University of Waterloo invites you to an online new faculty social on Wednesday, August 11, at 11:00 a.m., on Microsoft Teams. Bring your questions—for us, or for each other—or just come to meet your colleagues!

Our negotiating team has been engaged in bargaining with the University on salary and other compensation items since December 1, 2020. We did not reach an agreement by midnight, February 1, so negotiations will continue, first with a mediator and then, if an agreement is still not reached by March 1, going to arbitration. All these procedures are set out in section 10 of the Memorandum of Agreement.
