Do you have an idea to help internationalize campus? Consider applying for the Internationalization Fund; an initiative to bring to life new ideas that will help internationalize our University community. This one-time fund totals $100,000 and will be split among 10-15 initiatives.

Find out more at the March 26 Lunch & Learn where we will discuss:

Strategic plan consultation - internationalization issue paper

This consultation session is open to all members of the University of Waterloo. The strategic plan consultations will gather input and feedback on what we need to achieve by 2025 and what success looks like.

Register for this consultation session

Join us for a hands-on workshop in which we explore the connection of cultural identities and language. Awareness and understanding of what shapes different cultural perspectives is an essential preparation for study, work, and research abroad and in Canada. There will be time to talk with professors and peers over lunch.

Facilitators: 
Prof. Emma Betz (Germanic and Slavic Studies) and Prof. David Rozotto (Spanish and Latin American Studies)

In celebration of International Education Week, Dr. Marianne Larsen will be joining the University of Waterloo community to discuss the opportunities, challenges and barriers of internationalization and academic mobility.
