The University of Ottawa will rename its student volunteer centre the Michaëlle Jean Centre for Global and Community Engagement in honour of the university’s departing chancellor.
Jean has moved on to become secretary-general of the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie.
“We wanted to pay a fitting tribute to Ms. Jean, whose time as chancellor has been greatly characterized by her deep commitment to our students,” university president Allan Rock said in a statement.
“Given that the purpose of this centre is to offer youth opportunities to become engaged in their community and develop a desire to help others, it seemed only natural to name it after our outgoing chancellor.”
The Michaëlle Jean Centre for Global and Community Engagement, inaugurated in October 2011, provides students with information on volunteering in this region, across Canada and around the world. It also provides support to students looking to launch local initiatives.
