From September 29 to October 3, some of the world’s brightest minds descended on Waterloo, Ontario, to discuss the future of high school education.

Equinox Summit: Learning 2030, a world-class event presented by the Waterloo Global Science Initiative, explored the challenges and opportunities facing high school education, and captured delegates’ imaginations by laying out a new way forward for high school teaching and learning, focusing on linking pedagogical innovation with the needs of society.

The following message was sent via email to all students, faculty, and staff, to mark the University of Waterloo's commitment to updating its visual identity.

Dear Students, Faculty and Staff:

On Wednesday, July 24, President Hamdullahpur led a delegation from the University of Waterloo to Australia’s Monash University, where the president and his Monash University counterpart, Vice-Chancellor Ed Byrne, signed an extension to the two universities’ Memorandum of Understanding, extending the globe-spanning partnership well into the future.

President Hamdullahpur and Vice-Chancellor Byrne hailed the MOU extension as an outstanding example of international and interdisciplinary research collaboration.

There’s only one way I could possibly start July’s update: with a huge thank-you to the team that enabled our biggest, best Canada Day ever.

More than 40,000 of our friends and neighbours came out to the Columbia Lake Fields to celebrate Canada, and to celebrate this wonderful community where we’re so fortunate to live and work.

If you’ve participated in Canada Day celebrations at the University of Waterloo before, you know they’re not to be missed.

For 28 years running, our celebration at Columbia Lake playing fields has provided family-friendly activities, live entertainment, and a beautiful fireworks display for the whole community to enjoy.
