Do you remember your first day on campus as a University of Waterloo student? Perhaps you arrived to a Faculty named Applied Health Sciences or Human Kinetics and Leisure Studies. Some alumni remember being a student at Waterloo before we were a Faculty. They came to campus as a student in the Department of Recreation and Leisure Studies or in our very first department, the Department of Kinesiology.
This fall, our Faculty expects to welcome approximately 3,500 students. Some may be on campus and some may remain virtual. Either way, they are our future alumni and we know that you join us in welcoming them to Waterloo and your home Faculty.
In a previous Health Hub, Dean Lili Liu shared the strategic plan for our Faculty. Thank you to alumni volunteers, students, faculty, staff and friends who have been developing tactics with us to help execute our mission and vision.
Our vision for a healthier world has inspired us to launch the Faculty of Health Student Experiential Learning Fund. We know many of our students go on to service careers in not-for-profit and healthcare organizations. While this fund will support all undergraduate students, funding preference will go to students interested in learning and contributing to the health and well-being of those organizations doing social good. Positions may include co-op and paid internships. To help contribute to it, please contact me or visit our Support website.
Thank you for your sharing your time, treasure and talent with us this year. You help us to be better.
