Exceptional Community Experience
We cultivate an exceptional experience for all members of the Faculty of Science community where ideas can flourish and lasting relationships are built.
A place to learn, grow, and unleash your potential – that’s what the Faculty of Science wants to be for our community.
By creating an environment where people feel empowered to explore their passions, engage openly with their peers, and be their authentic selves, we will build a solid community base. Developing programs to support employees and students not only as scientists but as people, will build on that base to create a strong, supportive community where people have the tools they need to succeed. Education within the Faculty of Science will be accessible to all, addressing the unique needs of students, researchers, staff, and community members. We will strive to create an inclusive environment where everyone has the opportunity to accomplish their goals.
Faculty and staff will be brought together in ways they haven’t connected before through knowledgesharing events and mentorship programs across departmental boundaries. To positively add to the student experience, we want to connect with our students on a more frequent basis to create lasting memories that will lead to fond memories once they are alumni.
As a member of the larger Waterloo Region community, we aim to connect with people of all ages to spark a love for science and introduce the next generation of scientists to the Faculty of Science at Waterloo.
