More students welcome to enroll 

We very much look forward to the seminar beginning in January and welcome more students to enroll—spots are available for undergraduates in their third or fourth year from all Waterloo faculties and colleges. ARTS 490 will be delivered asynchronously primarily by course instructors by Dr. Shannon Majowicz and Dr. Shana MacDonald. The final grade will be evaluated as Credit/No Credit (CR/NCR). Students do not need special permission to add ARTS 490 to their winter course schedule.  

Join our team of experts and mentors to investigate multiple perspectives on the pandemic—a global challenge that could not be more timely and relevant.
