Alumni Event: Craft Beer and Bites

The four University Colleges at the University of Waterloo are getting together to host an epic alumni craft beer and bites event - and you are invited!

For this special event, you'll meet us at Renison, and we'll take you on a walking tour to each of the University Colleges to sip craft beer samples and savour some carefully chosen treats. It's a great way to tour your old stomping grounds (see what we've done with the place) and connect with old (and new) friends!
