The University of Waterloo has spent its first six decades constructing academic success, developing innovative technology and strengthening the student community. As a student at the university, I can’t wait to find out what the next 60 years hold for us.

With advanced technology, fast-growing startups and strong collaboration between Faculties, the University of Waterloo is on its way to becoming one of the most well-known universities in the world. 

In my vision for the University’s future, innovation in reusable energy will see Waterloo make big steps forward in creating a more sustainable campus. All Faculties and programs will collaborate on this goal, contributing ideas and expertise to help make the dream into reality.

Students in urban planning can design the layout of reusable energy. Engineering students can work on the actual construction of the plan. Science and environment students will utilize their knowledge to add depth to the process. Arts students can take part in design and use-case studies. Collaborations between the faculties make our university a stronger unit, and accelerate development in scientific, technological and social cultural areas.
