Contact Pool

As the University of Waterloo is a thoroughly bureaucratic entity, there are many times when getting something done is a lot easier, and a lot faster, if you know the right person. Unfortunately not everybody knows the right people. As such, the following is a list of people you may want to get to know.



Please take some time to add yourself to the list with a list of things you would like to be contacted for, if you feel you're sufficiently knowledgeable in a given topic.

Just search this page for whatever thing it is you're looking for contacts for. This may all need to be reformatted in the near future.

The nature of these kinds of lists is that they will inevitably need to have people removed / updated. If you contact someone and they give you a "I'm not the person anymore, talk to X", please update the list

Please add yourself to this list. From this page, create a page via the '+' icon on the left; your page will automatically become a sub-page and be included in alphabetical order below. Wrap your details within an "Excerpt" template - by typing /excerpt and hitting enter, and putting your contents inside the box that appears.
