The latest installment of this year’s Alumni Breakfast Speaker Series took place on February 11, 2009. The Breakfast was themed “Canada’s University in the service of the world” and featured guest speaker Allan Rock, President and Vice-Chancellor, University of Ottawa.

President Rock spoke of the University’s initiatives to make the University of Ottawa more prominent on the world stage, including the University’s Service office which will open in March 2009. The breakfast also featured a short presentation by students linked with the Making Niger our Business project, an initiative created by Professor Guy Laflamme.  A portion of the proceeds from the breakfast were donated to the Making Niger our Business project.
