Did you know that Simard Hall (Faculty of Arts) at uOttawa will turn 70 next year?! Though the Latin inscription is rather ironic given current threats to teaching ancient languages at the university 😧 (Open letter here: buff.ly/mZjSv7Q ) #Ottawa #uOttawa #SOSClassicsUO #SOSÉtudesAnciennesUO
Stone cornerstone plaque embedded in a white building wall with autumn foliage in foreground. The engraved Latin text reads 'FACULTAS ARTIUM VNIVERSITATIS OTTAVIENSIS A.D. MDCCCCLV' (Faculty of Arts, University of Ottawa, 1955). Entrance to Simard Hall at University of Ottawa on an overcast day. Beige stone building with tall glass central tower featuring decorative relief panels, Canadian flags on roof, and bilingual 'Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa' signage above the entrance. Red campus directional sign visible in foreground.

Standing room only on LRT into downtown at 19:00 on a Friday is a capacity concern. There isn't room to grow downtown business nightlife with more capacity. (We only just got everyone on at UOttawa.)

Several Canadian academics on this letter denying genocide in Gaza, including UVic, UOttawa, UGuelph….Since Nathan’s name was added without his knowledge it would be interesting if media contacted the Cdn signatories to confirm their denial

New (and absurdly short) list of genocide deniers just dropped.

In the entire world, this is all the credentialed people they could find to sign.

Hi, Canada, big fan. Dual citizen, in fact. You wouldn't happen to have a need for an instructional technologist, would you?
Screenshot of a Reddit ad from u/uottawa_admissions: "Canada is an open, welcoming country. Study in an inclusive environment for a high quality of life. uOttawa: We're open to you."
