Context:

The Link is uOttawa’s first-ever web series highlighting entrepreneurial paths from our alumni around the world. English episodes are hosted by San Francisco Bay Area alumna Sharon Wong (BSc, Comp. Sci).

The Indigenous Alumni Council was created in winter 2021, a partnership between the uOttawa Office of Indigenous Affairs and the Alumni Relations Office. The Council is comprised of alumni from across Canada who reflect the diversity of Indigenous peoples who have studied at the University. The Council creates opportunities for alumni to maintain lifelong engagement with the University, contribute to Indigenization goals set out in the Indigenous Action Plan, and support Indigenous alumni, as well as current and future Indigenous students.
