On Friday, June 7, the University of Waterloo celebrated the continued success of the Keystone Campaign with the event “Waterloo World”, a day of fun that included music, dancing, and even a dunk tank.
Designed to bring together Waterloo faculty, staff, and retirees who give their time and resources to support campus-wide initiatives such as scholarships and projects to enhance the student experience, Keystone raised more than $1.3 million over the last campaign year.
Participating in his first Keystone picnic as vice-president, advancement, Ken McGillivray commented on the outstanding turnout and the enthusiasm of the campus community. “What a turnout! This really confirms the strong commitment that our staff, faculty, and retirees have for this community. It’s remarkable.”
President Hamdullahpur addressed the gathering Friday afternoon and again in the evening, noting the broader importance of Keystone in the life of the university.
“We all know that the Keystone Campaign is about something bigger than dollars raised - though that is absolutely vital. It’s about how each of us has a stake in this university’s success. It’s about bringing our community together,” he said.
