The University of Waterloo welcomes its newest members to the alumni club and reminds all alumni to stay connected
By Emily Huxley Osborne Alumni RelationsAs the University’s 109th convocation ceremonies begin this week, Waterloo is pleased to welcome graduating students to an alumni club with 172,000+ members living around the world.
Graduating students, along with their family and friends, and members of the community are encouraged to join the “CONVO-sation” by tweeting messages of congratulations and sharing memories and words of wisdom using #uwaterloograd. Messages will appear live on Twitter walls in the convocation hall and reception.
Being a Waterloo alumnus is about staying connected and showing off some university pride.
Show your pride in Waterloo by displaying your diploma at home or in the office. Diploma and portrait frames are available to purchase during convocation and online at any time.
By staying connected, alumni have access to services that support their success, as well as perks that mean they can have a little fun along the way.
As an alumnus, make sure you don’t miss out on the latest offerings, events, and updates. Keep your contact information up-to-date and follow along on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is co-ordinated within the Office of Indigenous Relations.
