University of Ottawa Homecoming 2022

It is with great pleasure that we invite you to join us for the 2019 Homecoming Weekend.

University of Ottawa Homecoming 2018

Come join us at the 2015 Common Law Reunion Weekend, celebrating classes whose graduating years end in a 0 or 5. Reunion weekend will be a great opportunity to revisit Fauteux Hall to see the many changes and renovations; catch up with old friends; reminisce on fond memories at your alma mater; and make new memories to last you until your next reunion. We can't wait to see you there!

Celebrating milestones for classes ending in a 4 or a 9, the reunion weekend brought together alumni from all over Ontario, Canada, the United States, and even Papua New Guinea, to revisit their law school, see the many changes and renovations that have taken place over the years, catch up with old friends and reminisce on fond memories from their law school days. Over the course of the weekend the Common Law Section hosted two annual events: the Dean’s Cocktail Reception Alumni Gala Dinner. The 2014 reunion also launched three new events: the “Last Lecture” series; a 5k run and; a farewell brunch.

The weekend of September 27-29, 2013 marked many special milestones for Common Law alumni who came back to their alma mater to celebrate their 2013 Homecoming reunions.

Following the National Program celebration, nearly 150 graduates gathered for the centrepiece of Common Law’s Homecoming weekend, the annual Common Law Alumni Gala Dinner. Graduates celebrating class reunions, particularly those from the classes of 1962, 1982 and 1987, showed up in large numbers to enjoy the fabulous meal, followed by dancing to the music of retired Professor Ed Ratushny and his jazz band, The Wave.
