About the Mini Town Halls
Waterloo’s Strategic Plan charted a course to allow the University to be recognized as one of the top innovation institutions in the world.
But planning a path to success is not enough. Success depends on the University's collective ability to turn ideas into action.
Waterloo hosted a special series of Mini Town Halls to learn what it would take to move Waterloo’s eight strategic priorities from paper to practice.
Hosted by Feridun Hamdullahpur, president and vice-chancellor of University of Waterloo, each town hall offered the opportunity to:
- Ask questions about Waterloo’s strategic priorities
- Learn details of the action plans that support each strategic priority area
- Hear from expert advisors and graduates committed to building a better university
- Understand what the Strategic Plan means for you
