Welcome!

As a graduate student association, we provide opportunities for doctoral (PhD), Master of Science (MSc), and professional program (MPH, MHI, MHE) students in the School of Public Health Sciences to connect.

TERRITORIAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT

We acknowledge that we work on the traditional territory of ‎ the Attawandaron (Neutral), Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. The University of Waterloo is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land promised to the Six Nations that includes ten kilometers on each side of the Grand River. We acknowledge that we work on these territories as beneficiaries of settler colonialism. We also acknowledge that members of our UWaterloo community live on Indigenous territories around the world.

This statement is only a small step in the process of reconciliation. Decolonization requires systemic change. The SPHS GSA is committed to this effort.
