The University of Waterloo’s six Faculties are vital to achieving Waterloo’s 2013-2018 Strategic Plan. These updates outline strategic initiatives within each Faculty implemented in primarily two theme areas: transformational research and academic programming. The Faculties’ contributions in other theme areas are no less important, and some of those initiatives are featured as well.
