Just to ensure the correct people are given credit here, Velocity is Sean Van Koughnett's brainchild and he pushed the university to build the Velocity program. He's a great guy and the city of Waterloo is fortunate to have had his efforts dedicated to this.

Also, I want to address one of the grandchild comments. It's important to enforce the fact that Velocity is not simply a place for engineers or math students. It's a place to meet passionate entrepreneurs and build startups. The mindset of "arts/bus students are surprisingly useful" is outright disrespectful, and discredits the value of fresh insights and diverse skill sets.
