A message from Vivek Goel, President and Vice-Chancellor.
Colleagues,
I’m sending this invitation to you on behalf of James Rush, Jacinda Reitsma and me. Please join us at an upcoming virtual Budget Information Forum on Wednesday, April 2.
We will detail the University’s current financial position and what proposed finances look like for next year as part of our three-year plan to return to a balanced budget. Our recommended operating budget will be presented to Senate and the Board of Governors for their review and approval in mid-April, and we would like to share what will be considered by these bodies with you in advance for awareness.
We know you have many questions, and your concerns are important to us. In the past, we have had more questions than we could answer during our time together and so for this forum, we’re asking that you submit questions in advance during the registration process (link below). We’ll take a look at all of your questions and group them together according to larger themes so we can address as much as possible during this information forum.
After the event, if you have specific questions related to your unit, we encourage you to reach out to your leader as budget-related decisions will vary based on the needs of those departments. You can also continue to send questions, suggestions and ideas to budget@uwaterloo.ca and our team will strive to get back to you.
Registrants will receive a link to their University of Waterloo email address the morning of the Budget Information Forum, on Wednesday, April 2, 2025.
