Alumni Privileges » Partnerships
Partnerships explained
The University of Ottawa Alumni Association has partnered with several companies to offer services at discounted group rates. The funds received through these partnerships help support student activities on campus and alumni programming such as class reunions, alumni chapters and Homecoming. These partners are commonly called our Affinity Partners.
Alumni are invited to use the services offered by our Affinity Partners through the mail, the e-newsletter and at certain alumni events. At no time will our partners solicit you by phone. All mailings are coordinated by a third-party mailing house and at no time do our partners have access to your personal information. We do not sell or rent contact lists to anyone.
