London, UK: A Trip Report by the University of Waterloo's Associate Vice-President, International

With my arrival at London Heathrow on Sunday January 21, 2018, my trip to the United Kingdom had begun.

After my flight, I kicked off my visit with a dinner with Waterloo students currently on cooperative work terms in London. Of the many co-op work terms embarked upon in the 2016/2017 academic year, 35 students travelled to the UK. This was an opportunity for me to support our international co-op students and to gain insight into their experiences.
