"I'm thrilled to be returning to campus for Reunion to speak to alumni, current students, staff, and people from the community,” says Moyse, an alumna of Waterloo’s Faculty of Applied Health Sciences. “Not only is it a chance to give back to a place where I spent four great years of my life, but it makes me feel more connected than ever to Waterloo. There is something so inspiring about meeting the next generation of leaders."

Waterloo alumni officer Jennifer Bentley says the Moyse lecture and other key reunion events are open to everyone. “You don’t have to be a Waterloo alumnus to come back to campus and enjoy the exciting events this year. This is an event for everyone in the community.”
