Convocation: Join the celebration

Once again, Alumni Relations is bringing the award-winning “CONVO-sation” to convocation! What better way is there for family, friends, faculty, and staff to celebrate the accomplishments of Waterloo’s graduates than to use social media to show their support?

Take it to the Twittersphere

Help welcome the newest members to the alumni club by joining the “CONVO-sation” at #uwaterloograd. Your messages – and new this fall, your photographs – of congratulations, memories, and words of wisdom will be displayed on the live Twitter feed during each of the ceremonies and receptions on Friday and Saturday.

See anyone you know?

Our roving photographer will be on hand before and after each ceremony to capture all of the memories. Browse photos from the day’s ceremonies on the Alumni Relations Facebook page, updated each evening.
