Starting a new position can be daunting and sometimes even a little lonely. Wouldn’t it be nice to meet and talk to others who are also adjusting to a new life in Waterloo? You could ask them questions like “Where’s the best place to get good Thai food?” or “How did you find the Math and Computing building?” To this end, the Faculty Association would like to invite new faculty to come and share your experiences and travails with each other over refreshments on February 3rd.

Even if you are not that new (or don’t feel new anymore), please come to welcome the newest members of our community. Come enjoy the company. Come to meet new colleagues. Come to eat, drink, and compare notes. Members of the Faculty Association Board of Directors will also be present to answer questions such as “What does AF&T stand for?”

When and where
