Breaking Assumptions: What I Learned About ECC From Being a Facilitator
What are English Conversation Circles? A few months ago, I had no idea, but when I started working at the Writing and Communication Centre (WCC) one of my roles was to facilitate the English Conversation Circles (ECC) program. I assumed ECC would be a program that Individuals used to strengthen their English conversation skills, and I was excited to be a part of this support team. Once I started working on the program, I learned quickly that ECC is a support system for international students here at UW.

Collaboration with the new Journal of Undergraduate Health Research!
We're so impressed with the brand-new student-run Journal of Undergraduate Health Research (JUHR) here at UWaterloo, which was founded by two undergraduates. The journal aims to give peer-reviewed publication opportunities to undergraduates in any health-related field. We're thrilled to be able to support JUHR by providing workshops for both the editorial team and for student authors.
