We've partnered with Women in Engineering to get University of Waterloo community members access to a free screening of Picture A Scientist - a documentary raising visibility around gender bias and racism in science.

Following the film screening period, the Undergraduate Science Society will be hosting a discussion open to all students, faculty, and staff members who would like to share their thoughts.

The Fusion Conference merges knowledge from science, business, and technology fields through a unique theme each year. This year’s conference theme revolves around Advances and Emerging Opportunities in Financial Technology!

Graduating Science undergraduate students are invited to join us online at the 2022 Grad Reception! Your hard work is about to pay off!
