Host University Profile
The University of Waterloo celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2007, harking back to the first applied science classes offered starting July 1, 1957, by the temporary “Waterloo College Associate Faculties.” At that time Gerald Hagey, president of the Lutheran-affiliated Waterloo College, had enlisted support from business leaders in Kitchener-Waterloo, a modest industrial city in midwestern Ontario: they would create a program to train engineers and technicians who were desperately needed for Canada’s growing postwar economy.
Following independence from Waterloo College (which was founded in 1911, and which later evolved into the present-day Wilfrid Laurier University), the new University of Waterloo quickly diversified its academic offerings. By the time that first class of engineers graduated in 1962, the Associate Faculties had become the University of Waterloo.
The University of Waterloo, ranked the “best overall” university in Canada for the past 12 years by Maclean’s magazine, has a well-deserved and enviable reputation for innovation and for the transfer of ideas and technology to the high-tech and knowledge-based economies. For 18 years in a row, UW has been named Canada’s most innovative university in the Maclean’s annual university rankings.
