The 2021 ɫ United Way Campaign provides an opportunity for the UCalgary community to connect with each other and support the greater Calgary community.

Together, we can make an impact and improve local lives through fun events and creative initiatives taking place now across campus.

Jessica O’Connell, manager of experiential learning at the Taylor Institute for Teaching and Learning, and United Way cabinet member, said she’s excited for the hosted by the Taylor Institute.

“The generosity of our network was truly outstanding in offering this prize, and we are excited to spread this opportunity across campus for someone lucky to win,” says O’Connell, adding that working on the United Way Campaign has given her an amazing opportunity to connect with new UCalgary colleagues and friends.
