Occasional updates, comments, and reflections from President Feridun Hamdullahpur
Waterloo is a magnet for innovators and disruptors.
So, it is no surprise that tomorrow our University will welcome a diverse group of business leaders to our Waterloo Innovation Summit.
The Fall is one of my favourite times to be on campus. The season is marked by the enthusiasm of new students, as well as renewed comradery for those returning and refreshed commitment from faculty and staff.
2016 has been a great year for UWaterloo, thanks to all the hard work of so many students, staff, faculty, partners and friends.
I can't wait to start the new year with you, in celebration of Waterloo's 60 years of innovation.
Until then, here's a recap of some great experiences and events we had in 2016.
President Feridun Hamdullahpur joins with campus colleagues in remembering the 14 women killed on this day in 1989.
As we mark National Philanthropy Day for the fifth year, I’d like to personally thank everyone who supports the University of Waterloo and the Affiliated and Federated Institutions of Waterloo through charitable giving and volunteer efforts.
For the last week and a bit, I've had the honour of leading our annual president's delegation to East Asia. This year our travels took us to Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong and Shenzhen, China, to maintain and build partnerships that will serve Waterloo well for years to come.
Following the #UWaterlooAsia Delegation trip!
Seventy five years ago next month, in December 1941, a thousand Canadians stood in defence of a small city off the China coast. More than half would suffer death or injury, and those who survived would go on only to capture, and often to torture.
It's been great spending time in East Asia with our incredible alumni and partners for the past week. We'll continue our efforts building institutional partnerships and connecting with University of Waterloo community members in this region until November 13, when our annual visit to this beautiful part of the world comes to an end.
Celebrating Waterloo's leadership on equity and innovation this month.
Following up on our important step forward for equity.
