About the Center
"Adawe" means "to trade or exchange."
The Adawe LifePlan Center was created to be more than Ottawa University’s advisor center. The Center is a free marketplace of ideas, somewhere safe for students to engage in big or small discussion and develop ideas and passions. It was started several years ago at the suggestion of Ottawa University Chancellor Kevin Eichner. An Ottawa University alum, Chancellor Eichner credits his professors, mentors and advisors with helping him develop as a whole person and explore different career opportunities. He wanted all Ottawa University students to have an experience that empowered them to succeed, and so the Adawe LifePlan Center was born.
