Spring open house

Event time: 12:00 to 4:30pm

Presentation time: 2:30pm

Designed for prospective students at any stage, our open houses give you a complete picture of life at Waterloo across two locations in one day. Explore Waterloo's main campus — undergraduate programs, residences, financial aid and student services — and feel campus life firsthand. Then visit the School of Pharmacy in downtown Kitchener for a dedicated PharmD and CAP experience, including an admissions and career pathways presentation, live Q&A, insights into student life and co-op and a guided tour of our classrooms and student spaces.

I remember being in their shoes six years ago, so when I spoke with prospective students it was rewarding to share my experiences and talk about the diversity of the pharmacy profession.

Anchanah Jeyamohan, Rx2026 Waterloo Pharmacy student ambassador

At the open house, I shared how pharmacy is an innovative and growing profession that extends far beyond medications—encompassing leadership, research, innovation, and new ways to improve patient care.
