Events

To kick off the new year, we want to invite everyone to join us in supporting the University of Waterloo's (UW) Men’s Volleyball team in their game against McMaster University on Friday January 24 at 8 p.m. in the Physical Activities Complex (PAC) gym.

The SPHHS GSA is hosting a free barbecue next week on Wednesday, June 11th at 5PM on the BMH Green for SPHHS Graduate Students, Faculty, and Staff.

Wednesday (August 20th) will be the last social event of the school year!!! Please join us at Chainsaw at 4:30 pm for free appetizers and a fun end-of-summer event so we can enjoy the last of the good weather with friends. This is also an opportunity to meet the incoming Masters of Public Health (MPH) students!

A sexy scarecrow, the Life of Pi and Grease! Or maybe a mad scientist?

That's right, it's almost that time of year again. When talk of what you are going to wear gets creative. Halloween!

The Snow Ball is a semi-formal dinner on Monday, December 1 with entertainment, dance and a raffle to support the Kitchener-Waterloo (KW) Food Bank. The food is sure to be superb as we will be holding the event at Golf's Steak House & Seafood (598 Lancaster St. W., Kitchener).

Going out for a late-night, green-themed escapade? Or maybe you are staying in and working on your thesis (of course that’s what we’ll be doing….). Regardless of your St. Patrick’s Day plans, you need fuel for that fun!

Hosted by the School of Public Health and Health Systems Graduate Student Association (SPHHS GSA), the Fall Social at The Huether is an evening out in Uptown Waterloo for current and incoming students in the School of Public Health and Health Systems. Come join your peers for free food and good times.

Join us for our first Lunch and Learn of the year with Dr. Kelly Skinner! Dr. Skinner will be sharing her expertise of community-based health and social projects related to food, nutrition, food security, primarily with people living in northern locations in Canada and more recently with Indigenous organizations located in urban settings.

Join us Tuesday March 22nd from 11-12pm for our Lunch and Learn with Laura Bredahl, a Bibliometrics and Research Impact Librarian from the UW Library. The audience will learn about improving the discoverability of your personal bibliometrics and how this might be helpful throughout your career.

This interactive webinar covers the basics of bibliometrics, commonly used bibliometric indicators and discusses the importance of the responsible use of bibliometric data. You will also be introduced to tools that will help you discover and control your bibliometric data and discover aggregated and normalised bibliometric data for groups of papers and for institutions.
