What we’re hearing

With consultations underway for the Waterloo at 100 visioning exercise, we want to thank you and share a few insights we’ve heard from the University community. As we listen to people sharing their thoughts about the vision for a bold future for this institution, we remain inspired by the question at the core of these consultations:

What do we, as an institution, aspire to become by our 100^th anniversary in 2057?

Hello,

As our current Strategic Plan enters its final year, I am pleased to announce that the University of Waterloo is launching a process to develop a new plan for the period of 2020-2025.

Over the next 12 months we will examine our achievements on the current plan, develop transition strategies to ensure that we stay on course with our achievements so far and begin to prepare for the new plan. Two foundational stages of the development process will be taking place. These stages are:

December 6th is the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women in Canada. This year will mark the 28^th anniversary of the tragic events that took place in 1989 at l'École Polytechnique de Montréal.

The President's Town Hall on November 3 was a great event with excellent participation.

So excellent, in fact, that there wasn't nearly enough time for the president and his team to address all of the great questions that came in from email, social media, and live audience members.
