About Us

KISS, the Knowledge Integration Student Society, is a group of

student leaders composed of Directors and Co-Chairs. We value diversity, pluralism, creativity, and connection. We strive to encourage the sharing of knowledge between past, current, and future Knowledge Integration students. One of our main responsibilities is to listen to KI students about their experience with the program and recommend changes and improvements to the program on their behalf

The Co-Chairs are responsible for coordinating and supporting all the activities of the student society. The Directors are responsible for leading individual initiatives promoting community development and fostering connections between KI students, faculty, alumni, and other University of Waterloo students. In doing so, we collectively advocate on behalf of KI students to the department and the university to further the academic, career, and social goals of KI students, and the reputation of the program.
