Warm welcome with Faculty Ready Days

Tuesday, July 23, 2024

In partnership with all six faculties, we welcomed incoming undergraduate students and their supporters to Warrior life during Faculty Ready Days.  

We engaged with nearly one-third of new undergraduate students: 1,250 in-person students, 1,050 in-person supporters and 800 virtual participants. Across all six Faculty Ready Days, we hosted over 3,100 attendees. This turnout successfully aligned with previous years.  

Faculty Ready Days are just one element of the SSO’s dynamic new student transition strategy. Waterloo Ready programming also includes weekly emails, webinars and LEARN modules. 

This muti-faceted approach helps students connect with peers, faculty, staff and campus services. Waterloo Ready also creates community like IPC Pre-Arrival Communities and Connection Collective. Overall, fostering a strong sense of belonging at Waterloo.
