FOUNDED IN 2012
The ARBUS Society was founded in 2012 by a group of Arts & Business students focused on connecting members of the program and bridging the divide between majors—ultimately creating a place for all ARBUS students to come together.

CONNECTING STUDENTS
Whether these events are in person or virtual, the ARBUS Society still upholds the same vision from years ago: to create a community space for all ARBUS students alike to connect, engage with one another, learn valuable skills, and get the most out of their time at the University of Waterloo.
