2015 Community Impact Report: Building Our Community

Friday, September 11, 2015

Feridun Hamdullahpur, president and vice-chancellor of the University of Waterloo, sent a version of this message to all students, faculty, and staff on September 11, 2015.

Our students, faculty and staff give back to our community in a number of ways. Together with our partners, we help make the Waterloo region a vibrant place to live, work and learn. 

Earlier this morning, I was pleased to host a breakfast that included a number of elected officials and community leaders to launch the University of Waterloo’s first ever Community Impact Report, Building Our Community.

Known for our academic excellence, the University of Waterloo continues to expand our impact and reach globally; however, a key component of this global success is dependent our ability to learn, build and grow with our local community.  This report outlines our partnerships and impacts with the community and defines our path moving forward. 

Read our new Community Impact Report, Building Our Community. I know you'll be as proud of the University of Waterloo's community engagement as I am.

Sincerely,

Feridun Hamdullahpur,

President and Vice-Chancellor
