Departments We Represent
Want to Get Involved?
We occasionally host both small-scale and large-scale events to provide students with the opportunity to network with their peers, communicate their concerns to EGSA so we can bring it forward to faculty and learn about useful resources/services they can access. Larger events tend to need volunteers, however, some small-scale events will also require a few volunteers. We will email volunteers at least a week (typically 2-3 weeks) prior to our events to see who is able and willing to participate. This is a great opportunity for you to meet incoming Environmental Graduate students and make new friends. If you’d like them to volunteer, please email us at egsa@uwaterloo.ca.
Note:Â You are not required to volunteer for every event. Please prioritize your studies and well-being. If you do not respond to our emails requesting volunteers we automatically assume you are unable to volunteer.
Examples of small-scale events:
- Biweekly Coffee Socials
- Thrift Crawl
- Arcade Bar Night
Example of large scale events:
- Alumni panels
- Charity Balls
- Conferences
