Indigenous Student Services New to the Office of Indigenous Relations

Indigenous Student Services

Welcome to Indigenous Student Services

Welcome to Indigenous Student Services! We are in the process of integrating Indigenous Student Services into the Office of Indigenous Relations and bringing a physical space to Needles Hall on the main Waterloo campus. We anticipate the new student centre to be ready by the fall of 2025. 
 
In the meantime, we will have the following spaces open for Indigenous students to access staff for support, have a place to study or connect: 

  • Office of Indigenous Relations, EC5 4th floor, Monday-Friday from 9:00 am – 4:30pm 
  • Indigenous Science Centre, STC1013, Monday-Thursday from 10:00am – 2:00pm

Looking for specific support? Be sure to check out our Student Resources webpage for key support contacts, bursaries, awards, resources and more. Keep up to date with our Events and subscribe to our seasonal newsletter to keep up with all Indigenization and decolonization initiatives and events at Waterloo! 

We’re thrilled to welcome two new staff members on board to support you.
