What a start!
Waterloo’s 2013-2014 academic year is up and running with incredible momentum.
The following message was distributed to all students, faculty, and staff.
The University of Waterloo’s new Strategic Plan, A Distinguished Past; A Distinctive Future, is now available online in accessible formats.
Our mission, as outlined in the plan, is clear: the University of Waterloo will be one of the world’s top innovation universities.
With the plan now solidified, it is time to make it real by implementing it across the institution.
On Saturday September 7, more than 2,000 first-year students, as well as members of the campus community and the Waterloo Minor Soccer Club, encircled Warrior Field to cheer our Waterloo Warriors female soccer club as they hosted the McMaster Marauders.
Despite an outstanding effort, our Warriors were bested by a last minute goal by the visiting Marauders.
The men’s team, playing later in the day also against McMaster, recorded a 3-1 defeat.
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.

In a few short days, our university will be at its most vital and exciting, as new and returning members of our community join us on campus.
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.

I never get tired of Convocation.
Equity and entrepreneurship are vital to the University of Waterloo.
A strong value system is central to our open and innovative culture, and entrepreneurship is an area of increasing importance not only to Waterloo, but to generating economic opportunity for our researchers and students, for Canada, and the world.
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.
