The hate-motivated attack that took place on our campus last week has shaken many of us. To reiterate President Goel’s message, gender-based violence has no place at the University of Waterloo, or anywhere.

We would also like to acknowledge the pain and injustice many of you may be experiencing from this incident.

Clark, coordinator, accessibility and information resources.

Each year the University of Waterloo bestows a small number of honorary doctorates, distinguished professor emeritus designations, as well as honorary memberships to the University. Honorary memberships are the highest honour a staff member can receive and are granted on retirement in recognition of individual outstanding service to the University as a whole.
