From imagination to impact: uOttawa’s $541M reIMAGINE campaign
What happens when a university dares to reIMAGINE its role in the world?
At the University of Ottawa, it leads to lives transformed and ideas unleashed. Surpassing its $500 million goal, the reIMAGINE campaign is the largest, highest impact fundraising effort in uOttawa’s history—and it’s rewriting what’s possible for students, researchers and the communities they serve.
