Alumni Day
Alumni Day is a celebration of the best of our university and alumni community.
Ontario Tech Alumni Day 2023 returned as an in-person event on Saturday, June 24 for the first time since 2019. We also offered a hybrid format for those unable to join us on campus.
We prepared a great schedule including our Annual General Meeting (AGM), the presentation of our Alumni Achievement Awards, and tours of some of our spectacular spaces on campus. We will also had an amazing guest speaker, Rachel Radyk. Rachel graduated in 2021 from the Faculty of Health Sciences and was awarded the Up and Coming Alumni Achievement Award in 2022.
