New Alumni Website Launched
Because Ottawa University wants to make it easier than ever for alumni to stay connected, we have something new to share.
The new Ottawa University alumni website, www.ottawauniversityalumni.com, recently was launched, which will allow users to stay connected with classmates, register and pay for upcoming events, update class news and notes, make gifts to the University, integrate the University website with your smart phone and Facebook, view event photos and details, and read the most current issue of the Spirit Magazine.
“We are very pleased and excited to publicly unveil the new alumni website," says Alumni Director Nori Hale. "We hope this tool will engage the Ottawa University Alumni Association of about 21,000 graduates and many student-alumni with the University and each other in new and dynamic ways.”

'Tell Us Your Story' Essay Winners Prepared For Significant Lives
When Billie Cruz walks across the stage to receive her diploma, it surely will go down as one of the most memorable days in her life.
Cruz is one of two OU-Online students recently awarded cash prizes for their winning essays in Ottawa University-Online’s first annual “Tell Us Your Story” contest. The money is to be used for travel expenses associated with attending one of OU’s five graduation ceremonies across the nation. Cruz will walk on May 11 during OU-Arizona’s commencement ceremonies at North Phoenix Baptist Church.
In her essay, Cruz recounts that, other than the day her daughter was born, the best day of her life was a day in 2009 when she finally decided to finish her education. “I believe that everyone at one time or another has had an ‘ah ha’ moment,” Cruz wrote. “It was then I knew I had to make some solid decisions and finally get off the roller coaster I had been on for nearly ten years.” As a result of that “ah ha” moment, she enrolled in Ottawa University-Online to complete her BA in Business Administration. She said her journey at Ottawa University has taught her a great deal about herself.
