It’s hard to believe that the 2014-2015 fall term is already at the half way mark!
So far, it has been a very full semester, and every effort has been more than worth it.
Feridun Hamdullahpur, president and vice-chancellor of the University of Waterloo, issued the following statement to the University of Waterloo community.
Today Canadians watched with grave concern as acts of violence transpired in our nation’s capital. The fact that these acts of violence were apparently aimed at fundamental institutions of our democracy, including the Parliament of Canada, makes them all the more shocking.
October 1, 2014 marked the launch of the University of Waterloo’s workplace campaign in support of the United Way.
This year President Hamdullahpur has set our target fundraising goal at $250,000 - a goal he knows our community can achieve if we all come together.
Watch the president's special message, distributed to all students, faculty, and staff the morning of October 1.

Both at home and abroad, May has been an exciting month for Waterloo.
As you know, building our international profile and prominence is an important part of our Strategic Plan. In pursuit of that goal, I led a delegation of Waterloo administrators and researchers to visit some of our key partners in China this month and the results have been excellent.
