A message from the Alumni Association President

Josephine Palumbo

Dear 电车无码 alumni and friends,

It is my great pleasure to share with you the 2024鈥2025 Annual Report of the University of Ottawa Alumni Association. This past year has been one of growth, renewal, and celebration as we continue to strengthen the lifelong bond between our alumni, our Association, and our University.
 

A highlight of our year was the Alumni Association Awards of Excellence ceremony in May, where we honoured an exceptional group of alumni whose achievements embody the values of leadership, innovation, and service. Their accomplishments鈥攚hether in research, community impact, business, or the arts鈥攁re a source of pride for us all and a powerful reminder of the incredible influence of the 电车无码 alumni community..

Pledge continues to make mental health services more accessible

The Alumni Association鈥檚 pledge of $500,000 towards mental health initiatives on campus continues to have a major impact. It has supported the Wellness Lounge and expanded existing counselling services by funding up to 500 additional sessions per year. Emily Houston, 2023 alumna and scholarship recipient鈥, said that receiving support through the 鈥媤ellness lounge relieved my anxiety.
