The Faculty of Arts at the University of Ottawa has great cause to be proud of its alumni. To recognize their outstanding achievements and exceptional careers, we are creating a veritable Who’s Who of Faculty of Arts alumni on the first floor of Simard Hall. To date, a total of eight alumni profiles are proudly displayed in the glass cases to serve as a source of encouragement for our students now and in the future. We hope all those who follow in their footsteps down these same halls at uOttawa will be inspired by their achievements—true success stories indeed!
