UWaterloo Chancellor pledges $1M towards student-focused initiatives

The University of Waterloo has received a $1M pledge from its Chancellor, Dominic Barton, toward several initiatives that support UWaterloo’s strategic plan. These initiatives include new opportunities and awards for Indigenous undergraduate students, the expansion of the School of Accounting and Finance’s International Study Trip, and the construction of the Innovation Arena to give students interested in entrepreneurship a place to develop their research and business expertise. “Global forces, including rapid changes in technology, are redefining how we develop talent,” said Barton. “Waterloo excels at training the leaders of tomorrow. I’m proud to support this critical work as an ambassador of the University and as a donor.” UWaterloo Note: Archived stories may contain dead links or be missing source links.
