To celebrate National Philanthropy Day on November 15, we're sharing stories that illustrate the power of giving — stories like Edwin’s. He worried that the cost of university would keep him from building the life-changing technologies of his dreams. Donors Brian and Janis Traquair opened the door to computer programming at Waterloo – and the skills that will equip Edwin to create a better world.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg, and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is co-ordinated within the Office of Indigenous Relations.
