Co-op and Experiential Education

Social innovation student startups from an app that aggregates news stories and uses analytics to distill fact from opinion, to a program that will strengthen early childhood education in urban slums around the world are competing for $5,000 in funding from a new fund at St. Paul’s GreenHouse.

The live-in social innovation community at St. Paul's University College at the University of Waterloo will award $5,000 in funding to student innovators at the GreenHouse Social Innovation Showcase, taking place on Wednesday, December 3.

The University of Waterloo is pleased to announce that it has signed a five-year partnership agreement with CIVICUS, the global civil society alliance.

The agreement establishes an annual internship with CIVICUS for students enrolled in the Masters of Arts in Global Governance (MAGG) program, based at the Balsillie School of International Affairs. 

Talk about a power meeting.

One day last spring, four University of Waterloo Students — Usman Chaudhry, Andrew George-Parkin, Ying Wu, and Helen Xiangxiang Zhang — joined a group of men and women who ordinarily speak of dollars in terms of millions or billions.

The University of Waterloo has launched its new and innovative Doctor of Pharmacy program, giving future pharmacists even more opportunity to meet Ontario's modern health-care needs.

Called PharmD, the new program replaces the previous entry-to-practice degree. It provides students with advanced clinical training to closely align with the recently expanded scope of practice for pharmacists across Canada, and prepares them for the direct patient care roles of today’s practitioners.

WATERLOO, Ont. (Thursday, Mar. 15, 2012) - The University of Waterloo, the world’s leader in co-operative education, will honour six accomplished co-op students during National Co-op Week.
