DEFYING TRADITION
“In 1957, a group of business leaders defied tradition by imagining a new university that integrated academic and research excellence with work-integrated learning to tackle some of the world’s most daunting challenges. Today, the best and brightest are drawn to the University of Waterloo and continue that spirit of innovation for global impact today and in the future.”
