A toast to the new school year

Toast time is a treasured, decade’s old, United College tradition that saw a trolley full of bread, toasters, and all the toppings (ex. jam, Nutella, random inventions!), rolled out in the cafeteria every night. 

From a 70’s alumni reunion, a college-wide beer and bites event and a successful annual golf tournament, to numerous alumni and donor lunch visits and virtual meetings, and a wonderful 60th anniversary event, these last several months have been an absolute honour and pleasure to support United College’s staff team as your new Advancement & Alumni Relations Officer!

On August 24th, approximately 150 alumni and friends came together from across Southwestern Ontario to tee off in support of United College. This signature annual gathering is a tradition for many alumni, with some folks having attended all 14 tournaments.

9 years ago on August 7th, 2014, the hearts of so many in our community and around the world broke.  

9 years ago, we remember and honour the legacy of a renowned United College and University of Waterloo student, student-athlete, student lifeguard, residence don, youth ambassador, and global change-maker: Alex Foto. 

Below is a testimony of a United College Staff Member and Donor of the Alex Foto Memorial Fund in memory of 9 years since she passed.
