    The Impact of Your Giving to The University of Waterloo Presented with gratitude to June 2014 Manulife Financial Ms. Marianne Harrison President and CEO Manulife Financial 500 King Street N., P.O. Box 1602 Waterloo, ON N2J 4C6 Dear Ms. Harrison: This report highlights the enormous impact Manulife Financial’s generosity has had on the university community in Waterloo, and on the local, national and international communities indirectly linked to us through our students, staff and faculty. In a world of ever-shrinking government budgets, your generosity has allowed us to award dozens of scholarships and bursaries, alleviating financial worries for many of our best and brightest students. You’ve also helped many students pursue co-op work terms in the vibrant not-for-profit and charity sectors, where they’ve learned lifelong lessons about the value of community service. And your extraordinary $1M gift to the Manulife Wellness Centre has brought renewed health and vitality to several specialized populations, including cancer and cardiac rehab patients and clinically overweight teens. We know that Manulife’s number-one priority is helping people with the “big” financial decisions, so they can thrive during uncertain times and better plan for the future. This is exactly what you have done for University of Waterloo students, and we are proud and honoured to count you as one of our most valued corporate partners. Please accept my sincere thanks, on behalf of the entire university community, for all you do to support us, our students, and the future

  • Waterloo Region: Building the Source-Code for Entrepreneurs
    WATERLOO REGION: BUILDING THE SOURCE-CODE FOR ENTREPRENEURS A white paper from the LEADERSHIP INNOVATION CONFERENCE 2013 hosted by THE UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO in Waterloo, Canada LINC Conference 2013 | 1 Waterloo Region has built a unique innovation hub. Research, entrepreneurialism and venture capital all have a vital role to play in fuelling economic growth and prosperity for Ontario, Canada and the world. The first annual Leadership Innovation Conference, hosted by the University of Waterloo, brought together visionaries, industry leaders, investors, academics and policy-makers for two intensive days focused on a single vision: BUILDING A MORE PROSPEROUS TOMORROW. Written by: Karen Mazurkewich July 2013 2 | UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO Executive summary The University of Waterloo is undertaking an experiential approach to education and entrepreneurship that has the power to transform economies. The entrepreneur- graduates from the institution are reshaping the employment landscape in Ontario. They achieve global status, joining the top ranks at technology giants such as Google and Facebook, and building international companies such as Desire2Learn and Public History Inc. — with offices and employees around the world. The region has built a unique innovation hub. It has done so without securing a major international airport or fast train service connecting it to major urban centres. It has buffered itself against economic disruption. Even as the region’s biggest technology company faces headwinds, employees have opportunities to be rehired by other firms in the community. Most importantly, the region is pumping out more start-ups per capita than anywhere else in Canada, despite the absence of venture capital firms.1 If we build it, they (investors) will come.

  • Review of the FUAC/UW Relationship
    Review of the FUAC/UW Relationship Gail Cuthbert Brandt Geoff McBoyle Rebecca Wickens 30 June, 2010 REVIEW OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO AND ITS FEDERATED UNIVERSITY AND AFFILIATED UNIVERSITY COLLEGES INTRODUCTION A Review Task Force was established in Fall 2009 by David Johnston, President of the University of Waterloo (UW) to initiate an overview of the relationship between UW and the FUAC1 in accordance with the Terms of Reference provided by the FUAC (Appendix A). The Terms of Reference specifically called for direction on: The nature and expectation of the FUAC academic contribution to UW programs The fundamental basis of the FUAC academic programming relationship and their role in academic decision-making at the University The FUAC role in providing residence space and their relationship to the broader academic learning environment. A primary motivation for the establishment of the Task Force was the realization that the strong and mutually beneficial relationship between UW and the FUAC rests in large measure upon personal relationships developed among key senior officials. As a significant number of those individuals have either recently left UW or are about to depart, there was a sense that a more formal framework for defining and reinforcing the UW/FUAC relationship should be established. The Task Force and its work represent the first steps in the achievement of this goal. The Task Force comprised Gail Cuthbert Brandt, Professor of History, Renison University College; Geoff McBoyle, Associate Vice-President Academic; and Rebecca Wickens, Secretariat. As part of the review process, 15 meetings were held during the first five months of 2010 with representatives from each of the FUAC institutions and relevant UW personnel (Appendix B).
