Looking forward to another six decades of innovation and ideas that change the world
By Taylor Legere University RelationsFrom Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s opening remarks at Hack the North on campus to advancements in autonomous vehicles and discoveries about our universe, it’s been an exciting 60th anniversary year for the University of Waterloo.
Some of the 2017 highlights include the student-design team Waterloop competing in Elon Musk’s Hyperloop Pod Competition, Waterloo’s first gender equity hackathon, and a new partnership with Amazon supporting AI research. Again and again Waterloo students, faculty, and staff have been at the forefront of innovation.

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.
