Campus Campaign is an opportunity for faculty, staff and retirees to come together for one common cause — to improve our campus community.
Through this unique initiative, individual faculties and services can imagine a project — one that resonates with their group, that will have an impact on our community and that they wish to make a reality.
From March 19 to April 30, support a project in your faculty or service or support an existing project that benefits our campus.

Ensuring state-of-the-art technology: Laboratory and Equipment Renewal Fund
To ensure that our students are well prepared for their careers we need to continually upgrade our undergraduate engineering and computer-science teaching laboratories with the newest technologies.
Maintaining PC workstations, technology-friendly teaching laboratories and advanced computer software and laboratory equipment ensures a high-quality, state-of-the-art learning environment for both students and faculty members.
Up-to-date software suites, operating systems and specialized equipment make it easier to study leading-edge technology, and foster new teaching and research opportunities that meet or exceed industry standards and expectations.
By donating to the Laboratory and Equipment Renewal Fund, you're making an important investment in the quality of our students' educational experience.

The Telfer PhD in Management will provide an opportunity for faculty members to be engaged in graduate teaching and supervision and to conduct specialized research in conjunction with graduate students.
The Telfer PhD Fund will provide funding to launch and manage the program.

Enhancing the student experience: Social Justice and Public Interest Fellowships
These fellowships assist students in making contacts in the work world, as well as enabling them to give back to the community.
This project, affiliated with the Centre for Global and Community Engagement (CGCE), is designed to encourage an ethic of active public service among all students at uOttawa.

Past fellowships have included placements with the African Canadian Legal Clinic, the coalition for Gun Control, Justice for Girls, the Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network, the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and the Asia Foundation in Bangladesh. Each fellowship is financed at $5000 per year.
Common law summer fellowship programs
Fellowships offer financing for students over the summer and provide them with opportunities to work in the area of social justice or with public interest organizations. Opportunities are also available for students interested in work with small law firms or sole practitioners. Public interest fellowship and social justice fellowships provide $5,000 to a law student for 10 weeks of full-time work over the course of a summer. Sole and small practitioner fellowships, in the amount of $2,500, provide funds to students and to encourage them to seek an opportunity with a sole practitioner or a small legal practice from across Canada that is able to match this amount.
Past fellowships have led to placements with Aboriginal Legal Services of Toronto, the Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network, the Coalition for Gun Control, Ecojustice, the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, the West Coast Legal Education and Action Fund (LEAF) and Peacebuilders International. A variety of placement positions have also been held with sole and small practitioners in different parts of Canada practising criminal law, family law, civil litigation and immigration and refugee law.
