A space built by Muslim colleagues, for Muslim colleagues.
An inclusive and welcoming space to connect, share experiences, celebrate Muslim identities, and belong.
The Muslim Employee Collective is an inclusive and welcoming space to connect, share experiences, celebrate Muslim identities, and foster a sense of belonging at the University of Waterloo. It provides opportunities for sharing resources, meaningful dialogue, and networking, and is open to collaboration with campus partners across the University of Waterloo and beyond.
Because the Collective is community-led, it grows and changes shape based on what the people in it need — this is a starting point, not a fixed program.
Who can join
- Anyone who identifies as Muslim and is a staff or faculty member at the University of Waterloo
- Colleagues across every faculty, department, and campus
- A community led by the people in it, not for them
