What do dance, design and marketing have in common? For Berlin Pang (BGBDA’ 22), earning a degree was about far more than what she learned in the classroom. Extracurriculars, work experience and hands-on challenges gave her a solid foundation for her career.

A media release on Cradle's June 13 online premiere said that film evokes the birth of life on earth.
After being told by a high school teacher that she wasn’t smart enough to pursue a post-secondary engineering education, Amy Tai has proven him wrong. In a big way.

The University of Waterloo is proud to announce that three of its students will receive one of Canada’s highest honours in academia — the Governor General’s Gold Medal.
Passionate about sharing his Indigenous heritage, an adjunct architecture professor named a new course after the ceremony his ancestors have used for thousands of years to welcome visitors to their homeland — At the Woods Edge.

It’s fair to say that Sana Ahmad (BSc ’22) was always planning on attending the University of Waterloo. Afterall, she practically grew up on campus as a child of two Waterloo alumni from the Faculty of Engineering and saw her older sister also graduate from Engineering in nanotechnology. The only hiccup was the subject matter Ahmad was to study. Although the Cambridge, Ontario native showed an inherent interest in STEM and engineering, Ahmad was really interested in rocks and had accumulated an impressive rock collection early on in life.
Pests and diseases are one of the top issues facing farming today. Using pesticides is a major recurring expense but is necessary to maintain economically viable yields and healthy crops. Every year, 20 to 40 per cent of global crop yield is lost due to plant pests and disease. A loss that cost the global economy around $290 billion annually, according to the United Nations.
