Who We Are & What We Do
We are a group of Lecturers building a supportive community to connect and to share common experiences and concerns. Originally formed as a website to share stories and articles of interest to Lecturers, we have now become a grassroots movement to unionize lecturers at the University of Waterloo.
Every Lecturer is welcome to join!
Mission
To increase the economic, professional, social, and political power of teaching stream faculty at the University of Waterloo through collective action, and thus to improve the quality of education at the University of Waterloo.
Vision
Recognition and improved working conditions for teaching stream faculty appointments at the University of Waterloo. We envision having a career progression path parallel to existing professorial appointments. We value tenure, time and resources for pedagogical and professional development, recognition for scholarly activities, and having consistent and equitable treatment of Lecturers across campus.
