traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples.
Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six
Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active
work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research,
learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Indigenous
Initiatives Office (https://uwaterloo.ca/human-rights-equity-inclusion/indigenousinitiatives). The
University values the diverse and intersectional identities of its students,
faculty, and staff. The University regards equity and diversity as an

including applicants who identify as Indigenous peoples (e.g., First Nations,
Métis, Inuit/Inuk), Black, racialized, people with disabilities, women and/or
2SLGBTQ+. The University of
Waterloo is committed to accessibility for persons with disabilities. If you
