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.”
