Creating a supportive environment that will increase inclusion.
Helping students
Access to post-secondary education can and should be the great equalizer for Canada, and nowhere is this more evident than at the University of Ottawa. Students who are the first in their families to attend university make up a significant portion of our graduating classes, and we boast the highest enrolment of aboriginal students among all Ontario universities.
