A virtual, graduate student drop-in group led by a 2SLGBTQIA+ counsellor to connect, share, and talk about student life, identity, and more. Connect with a counsellor with lived experience and a community where you feel safe and celebrated. 

Drop-in space for students to gather, study, read a book and listen to lo-fi and enjoy free light refreshments.

Weekly on Wednesdays from 2 - 4:00 p.m. in SCH 102

Emancipation Kick Up is a vibrant gathering rooted in reflection, community, and forward movement. As Black students at the University of Waterloo, we come together to honor the legacy of those who came before us—individuals whose vision of emancipation extended beyond freedom toward a future shaped by access, opportunity, and self-determination. Their dream lives on in the spaces we now occupy, and our presence in higher education is a continuation of that vision. This event recognizes the significance of simply being here—learning, growing, and building pathways that were once out of reach—while creating a space for reflection, connection, food, and games as we come together in community.

Meet other 2SLGBTQIA+ Grad Students over free lunch, games and conversations. Come as you are, embrace your authentic self and celebrate Pride in a way that feels right for you.
