Events

Recently, FAUW took an important step toward pay equity for lecturers by securing adjustments to faculty salary thresholds so they no longer unfairly disadvantage lecturers over the course of our careers. FAUW and the Lecturers’ Committee cordially invite all lecturers to join us at the Grad House as we celebrate this achievement.

Please come and socialize with your colleagues from around campus and enjoy some light refreshments.

The FAUW Board invites new faculty members to join us at Molly Bloom's at 2:30 p.m. on July 24 for a pint or a pop, and free snacks. We’ll also be dispensing free advice, should you want it. Bring any questions you have about how things work at Waterloo, or just come to meet your colleagues and enjoy some pub food.

RSVPs to laura.mcdonald@uwaterloo.ca are appreciated, but don't let a lack of RSVP prevent you from coming!

Join other faculty interested in exploring our role in confronting the climate crisis and its multiple injustices, global and local.

Learn about useful and essential campus technology at the September session of our new Lunch & Learn series. Representatives from Information Services & Technology will map out the landscape of technology services for faculty and FAUW reps will highlight some ways to stay up-to-date on what's happening on campus.

Whether you are actively searching for potential collaborators or if you just want to bounce around some ideas in an informal setting, this meetup will facilitate those conversations. 

Are you new to the Waterloo Region? Or perhaps you have heard a territorial acknowledgement and are unsure what it means. Join FAUW for an orientation to the University of Waterloo's location on Haudenosaunee, Anishnabeg and Attawandaron (Neutral) territory, what Indigenization is all about, and a discussion on our collective responsibilities towards reconciliation.

Learn about the various leaves available to UW faculty. We'll cover the length, eligibility, and procedure for a range of leaves, plus some of the related challenges.

Sue Fraser, employee career advisor at the University's Centre for Career Action, is available to help partners of faculty members in their job search, through individual appointments and workshops.

The Council of Representatives provides two-way communication between the FAUW Board of Directors and each academic unit at Waterloo.

The Gender and Sexual Diversity Working Group is hosting an LGBTQ2S+ faculty and staff lunch on October 30.
