President's Town Hall meeting today
Join the conversation at the President's Town Hall meeting, which takes place today in Federation Hall at 10:30 a.m.
Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from the President as he delivers a "state of the University" address and introduces the University's Strategic Plan 2020-2025, and engage in a dialogue with the President and members of the University's senior leadership. If you don't feel like braving the cold and snow outside to make the trek to Fed Hall, from the cozy confines of your office or cubicle.
The highlight of the events is the Q&A session that follows the president's presentation, where people can ask questions from the floor, via the livestream dialogue window, or on social media by tweeting with the hashtag #UWth.

ݮƵ will sleigh the Santa Claus Parade
A message from your ݮƵ Undergraduate Student Association.
Halloween has come and gone, and now everyone’s favourite holiday is just around the corner. And what better way to get into the Christmas spirit than by “sleighing” the annual KW Santa Claus parade?
On Saturday, November 16, Santa Claus is coming to town and UݮƵ faculty, staff and students will be there to welcome him. Join us as we walk along the route handing out 8,000(!!) candy canes and wishing onlookers a very happy holiday season. This is a great way to engage with our community and rep our UݮƵ pride. Future Warriors will surely be there, and we think you should be too!
The parade begins at 10:30 a.m. at Frederick St in Kitchener. Meet us there by 10:00 a.m. or join us by booking your spot on the bus at 9:00 a.m. to head over together via the SLC. Either way, save your spot through our . Staff and faculty are welcome to contact WUSA for a code to waive the fee and will receive a free hot chocolate if they ride with us. All participants will also get a $5 coupon for INews!
A long-standing tradition in the KW community, the parade is an event you don’t want to miss. So grab a co-worker, dig up those Santa hats from storage, and help us rep UݮƵ at the Santa Claus parade.

A message from the University of ݮƵ United Way campaign

Check out all of the and remember, it’s not too late to make your 2019 donation.
