Announcing the recipients of the Strategic International Experience Grants (SIEG)

Waterloo International is thrilled to announce the recipients of the Strategic International Experience Grants (SIEG) for the academic year 2024-2025. The SIEG award is designed to provide an opportunity for both Waterloo and University of Twente staff members to travel between the two institutions to share best practices and provide international experiences to staff who are collaborating with units of interest within the partner institution, fostering interaction and leveraging the synergies between the research, education, and community environments.

This year, we had an outstanding pool of applicants, making the selection process quite competitive.

We are excited to introduce this year's award recipients:

Ellen Zhiyu Gong, Department of Chemical Engineering

Laura Maple, Organizational and Human Development, Human Resources

Monica Vesely, Centre for Work-Integrated Learning

Spencer Small, Counselling Services

We extend our warmest congratulations to the recipients. Their proposed projects and initiatives were selected based on their potential to bring significant contributions to our institution. We are confident that their work will not only serve to advance the University's strategic objectives, but it will also equip them with invaluable skills and insights that can be directly applied to their roles at the University of Waterloo.

Join us in celebrating the announcement of our SIEG awardees. If you would like more information about the SIEG program, please contact Aisha Shibli.
