There’s something special about visiting a campus in the fall. It’s always a treat to see how much the campus has changed since I graduated. I also enjoyed meeting my peers. We took questions about our experiences as students, and talked about our post-Waterloo careers.

Waterloo’s Arts Faculty also featured Chaos Calling in:

1. The ever-popular Class Notes section.
2. Books by Waterloo’s Arts alumni. I’d heard of Julie Cole’s Mabel’s Labels (find me a Greater Toronto parent who hasn’t), and read Rupi Kaur‘s poetry before. Sabrina Rizk, listed here for her children’s book, also shared a house with me and other students for several terms.

Studying at the University of Waterloo was a formative experience for me. While I didn’t study creative writing, I learned a lot of writing and business skills that have carried me through several careers.

I knew early on in Chaos Calling‘s development that Dave would have a software background and that he’d founded a company. I wanted him to have a great campus environment, preferably at a school where I’d spent a lot of time. (It sure does cut down on the research.)

While I didn’t study engineering or math myself, I ended up working with many people who did. Making him a fellow Waterloo alum just made sense.

Thank you to Phoebe Wong and the Arts Faculty team for inviting me!
