With the start of a new year, St. Paul’s Student Life remained the same: a joy-filled community that continues to come together even in the hardest of times.
St. Paul’s is excited to announce the (near) opening of our outdoor ice rink found near the walking path between St. Paul’s and main campus.
As the year came to an end on the University of Waterloo campus, St. Paul’s Student Life took a moment to celebrate a wonderful semester. Over the last few weeks, some floors hosted dinners and celebrated in a way that felt best in their community.
While it started to snow and the seasons truly began to change, the livelihood of St. Paul’s Student Life stayed the same. Over the month of November, there were countless opportunities for LLC students to gather with their peers and take a little time away from studying!
Our team attended an interactive event featuring a dynamic keynote, workshop sessions, a student poster showcase, and panel discussions—all focused on transforming worries about climate change into opportunities for hope and career development. We learned from experts, connected with climate researchers, explored climate anxiety, and discovered active ways to collaborate for a better future. Thank you for inspiring a sense of climate hope in the attendees. We will carry this message out into the world and into our communities!
Date: February 6th, 4:00pm to 6:00pm
Location: GreenHouse, UTD 164
Hosts: Young and Restless, SDG Impact Alliance, GreenHouse
Our team was delighted to participate in the SDG Blender, hosted by SDG Impact Alliance and Young and Restless! At this exciting event, students, collaborators, community members and more had the opportunity to engage with each other and the sustainable development goals. This blender opened with presentations from Young and Restless, SDG Impact Alliance and GreenHouse, highlighting exciting upcoming opportunities and how to go from climate change to climate action. This was followed by an interactive activity featuring “recipes for change” where participants broke into groups to tackle a complex problem using the SDGs and their own solutions. This exercise exemplified the varied experiences and knowledge each individual brought to the table. Each group presented their solution “recipes,” which focused on community development, advocacy, reconciliation, climate action, business opportunities and more. The night closed with an inspiring new outlook on complex problems, new connections, and yet another tool in the toolbox for making a positive impact.
In recognition of an exemplary career, dedication to others and service to the United College community.
Jo-Anne’s (BA ’78) contributions to the United community began in 1973. As a first-year resident, she sang and played multiple instruments in several of the very first editions of BlackForest Coffeehouse. She has served on the Board of Governors, was a United Honorary Fellow and an alumni association executive, and she continues to serve as an active volunteer and donor today.
GreenHouse is proud to help students find purpose, take action, and create impact. In the Winter of 2022, GreenHouse celebrated a significant milestone with the 25th Social Impact Showcase. Our first Impact Report was created to recognize 25 cohorts of youth innovators making progress towards social and environmental impact.
On Saturday, March 26th, St. Paul’s celebrated the 50th annual Blackforest Coffee House.
February at St. Paul’s was filled with fun! Some of the highlights included:
