Being a new student at the University of Waterloo can bring a lot of mixed emotions as you navigate campus and classes for the first time. Don’t fret! Your Waterloo Undergraduate Student Association is here to help! We’re hosting the First Year Fair on Thursday, September 8th to give new WUSA Members (Waterloo undergrads) a chance to get to know us better and learn about how we can support and enhance your Waterloo undergraduate experience.

You can chat with student-run services and businesses to learn more about how WUSA can improve the quality of your undergrad life. The day will be filled with student-run booths, free food, and entertainment. Keep an eye out for the full line up of attractions on the WUSA event’s page.
