Details and updates can CONTINUED » be found on the UWRA website. On April 20 an all-day event featured tours of the numerous new buildings and additions that have “arrived” on campus since many of us have retired. Between the morning and afternoon segments a delightful luncheon was provided by the University with remarks from President Hamdullaphur about the important role that the retirees have played in creating the university of today. The modest cost of this event is due to generous support from UWaterloo via Kelly McManus’s Community Relations office. Our spring luncheon on April 25th was an illustrated lecture by Ken McLaughlin drawn from his extensive research on UWaterloo’s UWRA President Alan George

history. Then, on May 17th, there will be an all-day WELDON T. PHOTO:

Less positively, UWRA representation on the Pension and Benefits Committee initially faced some resistance, but representation was granted for a two year “probationary term” to be followed by a review. It is well established now that the UWRA has a permanent voting member on the P&B committee. Those early members of the UWRA executive deserve credit for persevering on the matter. I look forward to seeing you at the various events planned this spring and summer.

by Kelly McManus, Senior Director, Community Relations & Events.

2017 is a tremendous year of celebrations at the University of Waterloo — not only are we marking our 60th anniversary as a University, but we are sharing in our national pride as Canada marks its 150th. The University believes that these important milestones deserve a lasting tribute, and as such we are embarking on a 2017 “legacy project” called Celebration 2017.

Peggy Jarvie and Jeff Casello are serving as co-chairs of a campus Steering Committee that will guide, advise, and champion a campus-wide engagement process and competition to create a lasting, physical tribute to 2017. Retiree Sue Fraser will be representing the Retirees Association on the Steering Committee. Drawing from the principles of the I3 Challenge from 2011-12, Celebration 2017 will engage cross-faculty student teams to submit applications that will be adjudicated by a jury and ultimately lead to the creation of a monument or gathering space on our campus that marks this milestone year.

The Celebration 2017 Steering Committee will:

» provide leadership and vision for the development of the legacy project; » provide regular updates to Executive Council; » advise on a comprehensive campus engagement strategy and ongoing communications to campus throughout the life of the project, ensuring transparency and momentum amongst all University of Waterloo stakeholders;

» act as champions to ensure widespread engagement, leveraging the legacy project throughout the year as an opportunity for pride building during the 60th anniversary;

» select a jury comprised of internal and external constituents; » draw on and respond to campus feedback as appropriate; and » solicit external feedback as appropriate.

A jury will also be selected to assist with the judging process. The winner is expected to be announced at the President’s Town Hall in November, 2017.

A unique UWaterloo initiative

In May 2015, President Hamdullahpur accepted an invitation from the UN Women’s HeForShe campaign for the University of Waterloo to participate in their Impact 10x10x10 framework alongside governments, leading universities, and global businesses. As part of this framework, we will:

» Boost female student participation in STEM experiences and academic careers to build the pipeline of future female leaders in traditionally male dominated disciplines

» Enhance female faculty representation to improve the campus environment today and drive towards parity in the future

» Attract and advance female leaders into senior academic and administrative university positions

Dinner celebrates International Women’s Day at Waterloo As part of the University of Waterloo celebration of its 60th anniversary, the 12th annual International Women’s Day Dinner at Federation Hall was held on Friday March 3. In partnership with The Office of the President, University Relations, and the Women Studies program, over 350 staff, faculty, students, retirees and community leaders gathered to acknowledge the contributions that women at the University of Waterloo have made since its inception in 1957. The presence of former Deans Mary Thompson and Pat Rowe, several past members of the UWRA executive and other members of the UWRA, were highlights of the evening. The aim of the event was to raise awareness about gender equality and to recognize the University of Waterloo as a leader in striving towards this goal.
