Living Digitally: Today and Tomorrow

Our lives are increasingly dependent on the digital technologies on which we find ourselves progressively dependent. Join faculty members Philip Boyle and Christine McWebb from the Stratford School of Interaction Design and Business for a discussion on what it means to be living in an age of digital innovations – advances that both enhance and disrupt established ways of doing business, scientific enterprise, and everyday life.  We will explore key topics such as privacy, the generational divide, and the benefits and challenges of using online platforms to communicate.

The University of Waterloo Stratford Campus warmly welcomed over 200 students on Thursday, with an afternoon of one-of-a-kind planned orientation activities that were generously supported by the businesses of Downtown Stratford.

The five university students behind a project called Recreate didn't expect to win a digital arts project showcase.

"Absolutely not," said Pedja Ristic, who spoke on behalf of his group.

Design students at the University of Waterloo Stratford Campus had the chance to hear from their colleagues who had graduated and gone on to work in the field on Saturday.
