A huge congratulations to the 2023 recipients of the Joyce Scholars Award: Tahreem, Avery and Haley. 

These three University of Waterloo students will each receive up to $20,000 for the duration of their studies. We are proud of our Joyce Scholars who have overcome adversity in their lives to pursue a world-class education at UWaterloo.

The University of Waterloo Campus Wellness team works throughout the year to provide on-campus support for all students, including healthcare, nutritional and dietician support, counselling services and more. While Campus Wellness covers a wide spectrum of support, Melissa Strachan, associate director of Counselling Services, is focusing on improving mental health support for students. 

On November 15, more than 100 people from Advancement and 27 other units across campus (including Alumni Council members) made 1,400 calls as part of the University's National Philanthropy Day thank-a-thon.  

Donors responded with appreciation — and sometimes surprise “I spoke to a donor who was thrilled to be thanked and not asked for money,” said one caller. Some calls even sparked new gifts.  Read the full story.
