Congratulations, Class of 2025

The Graham Seed Fund will officially launch its next call—Building Readiness for Responsible AI in Community Care—on Friday, October 31, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. in EC5 1111. The event will feature talks introducing the theme and outlining opportunities for collaboration, followed by a networking lunch. Join CareNext and local health care partners to learn more about this year’s focus on research that strengthens our understanding of how community and regional care organizations can prepare for responsible AI adoption. Visit the Graham Seed Fund website for more details and registration.

Join the Sustainability Office for a lunch & learn with the Region of Waterloo Waste Management team to learn more about the switch to cart-based collection.

In March 2026, the Region of Waterloo will be changing to cart-based collection for garbage and organics. Currently, most of the collection is done manually, by lifting waste materials and placing them into the collection trucks. By switching to cart-based collection, the region will improve worker safety and operational efficiency and cut down on waste collection day litter. Come learn about the switch to carts, see the carts in person, and ask Region of Waterloo staff all your cart-related questions!

Dr. Edward Doolittle: Indigenous Mathematics

To develop Indigenous Mathematics as a coherent subject distinct from mathematics, ethnomathematics, and Indigenous studies, we must consider the discipline’s foundations. As with global mathematics, Indigenous mathematics is founded in logic, philosophy, and culture, but differs in detail. Indigenous logic allows for the coexistence of contradictory statements: Indigenous philosophy is grounded in creation and the land; Indigenous culture is inextricably bound with spirituality, ceremony, and oral tradition. Efforts to “Indigenize” mathematics will fail without taking these differences into account.

Registration not required.
