Congratulations to the more than 450 graduating students of the Class of Spring 2020! The Faculty of Applied Health Sciences is celebrating with you today, our convocation day, and wish you the best in all your future endeavours.
We’ve asked Professor Zahid Butt to help us understand stage 2 re-opening in Ontario: what’s open, what’s closed and why.
You could be forgiven for not knowing where, exactly, we are with guidance on whether to wear a mask in public or not.
The events of the last two weeks have brought to the foreground issues of racism against Black people in a way that we don’t always see. As a Faculty, we have begun to reflect on our own actions, inactions and systemic biases. We acknowledge that we come up short and that we desire to do better. In Applied Health Sciences, we are committed to recognizing and respecting lived experiences and we continue to work toward a world where equity, diversity and inclusion are the norm. Our Faculty prides itself for being ‘people people,’ and we take this commitment to heart.
Faculty members in the Faculty of Health have been commenting on various aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Twitter, Facebook, Shopify – these are just a few examples of large companies that have indicated that even after the pandemic, their employees will continue to work from home.
A new study will explore how people of different ages perceive the risk of getting COVID-19.
Before the pandemic, when we occupied the same physical space as others, we paid little attention to them. Now, under the current circumstances, we’re more attentive to each other — we’re actually less socially distant while being more physically distant.
Apps that promote nutritious eating and grocery shopping via games can curb impulse purchases and contribute to a healthier lifestyle, a new study finds.
Every year, exceptional co-op students from each Faculty are recognized by the University of Waterloo for their contribution to their employer, their community and the further development of experiential education.
