Share your Experience

This form is a part of WUSA’s broader advocacy initiatives, aiming to enhance campus life for marginalized groups at Waterloo.

When you share your experiences of feeling unsafe, unwelcome, or marginalized, it helps us to develop informed policies and practices that benefit all community members. By strengthening our advocacy efforts, we strive to make the campus environment safer and more inclusive.

Please note that we do not provide individual responses to submissions. However, we may use de-identified or aggregated details from your reports in discussions with our advocacy partners, including EDI-R and other relevant campus units, to support these goals.
