The Social Impact Showcase celebrates the amazing work that GreenHouse students have accomplished throughout their social innovation journeys.
Going into the 2021/2022 school year, St. Paul’s welcomed a full residence. With the exciting news of a full residence, St. Paul’s also brought in 14 Dons and 16 Peer Leaders. Residence Dons are immersed in student floors, available to support their students, plan socials and create a welcoming and inclusive environment for all. This year has been no exception; there have been events happening in St.
With feelings of grief, shame and anger, we, the faculty and staff of St. Paul’s University College, wish to express our deep distress at the news that the remains of 215 Indigenous children were found buried at the former residential school in Kamloops, B.C. We offer our sincere condolences to the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation, and all survivors of the residential school system, their families and the communities who have been harmed by these atrocities and continue to suffer their impact to this day.
The flag at the front of the College has been lowered to half-mast for the week to honour the children whose remains were discovered last week in a mass grave at the residential school in Kamloops.
Faculty and Staff will be meeting to discuss the matter on Thursday and will issue a statement at that point.
Watson’s Eatery is excited to announce it is now home to a new food service provider, as St. Paul’s University College has started a partnership with Brown’s Fine Food Services on April 29, 2021, for a three-year term.
For many, starting your first year of university can be an intimidating, overwhelming, but very exciting time in your life. To ease the transition period between high school and university, many Living Learning Communities (LLC) have been created in the residence buildings at UWaterloo.
Various LLCs are housed across the residences on campus to allow students studying in the same Faculty or academic cluster to live near one another. St. Paul’s is home to the Faculty of Engineering LLC, Financial Analysis and Risk Management LLC and Women in Engineering LLC.
We caught up with some former students from the Women in Engineering LLC to learn what their experience living at the College with their classmates looked like.
Due to COVID-19, living on campus looked a little different this past year, but St. Paul's dons took on the challenge of managing frequent changes in public health guidelines to ensure students still got as much of a real university experience as possible.
Last month, Bell Let’s Talk announced that funding of more than $3 million in grants would be allocated to 123 colleges and universities across Canada. As part of this funding, St. Paul’s has been awarded $25,000 to invest in necessary resources to develop a mental health and well-being strategy for our campus community in line with the newly launched National Standard of Canada for Mental Health and Well-Being for Post-Secondary Students.
