Vision

The One Waterloo Campaign envisions a campus in which our differences are not just identified, but celebrated.

Mission

A diverse University of Waterloo means the aggregation of the talent of all its members providing the ability to flourish in an environment of tolerance and respect, free of discrimination and ignorance. The University of Waterloo’s success depends on the total commitment of all its members: its students, employees, alumni, and guests, to the One Waterloo campaign through the offering of their skills, talents, traits, values and perspectives to all UW endeavours.

Members of the university community are widely diverse in their ethnicity, sexual orientation, creed, cultural background, age, race, gender and abilities. It is because of these differences that the need exists for university members to dialogue, share ideas, and highlight problems of discrimination and intolerance.

One Waterloo comes together with the purpose of acceptance and understanding. The Campaign nurtures a community where students feel comfortable and safe to learn, explore and critically think about issues of race, religion, sexuality, gender, age, ability. The Campaign creates a space for students to feel safe in their expression of these ideas, and be open to dialogue and mutual learning.
