Events
Now – December 2017
Carleton’s United Way Campaign
Carleton’s United Way Campaign creates a great opportunity for staff and faculty on campus to connect, network and raise funds for a great cause. 100% of the funds raised by our campaign are invested locally helping kids achieve their potential, moving people from poverty to possibility, and bringing people and resources together to build a strong, healthy, safe community for all residents of Ottawa.
Please join us in making this year’s campaign a success.
All events that have been confirmed to date will be posted to the Carleton United Way website at: https://carleton.ca/unitedway/

Underhill Graduate Student Colloquium
The Underhill Graduate Student Colloquium is one of the longest running history graduate conferences in Canada. In March 2018, the Department of History, Carleton University, will be hosting the 24th Annual Colloquium. This year’s theme, “Storying Our Pasts: Historical Narrative and Representations” highlights historical output and means of storytelling. We hope to draw on different methodologies in a self-reflexive dialogue about how historians present and share their research.

Carleton – United Way Payroll Deductions Now Open
Payroll deduction is the easiest way to donate to the United Way, you can choose any amount you wish, and they are tax-deductible. Set it up once and then forget about it! You can find instructions here along with FAQs and contact information: https://carleton.ca/unitedway/donate-now/
Did you know that you can even use the United Way campaign to donate to another registered Canadian charity? So if you contribute to both a United Way program and a charity of your choice, you can now do it all in one place! When making your donation, just specify which charity you want to help using their name and registered CRA number (e.g. “Ottawa Humane Society” 123264715 RR0001). All you have to do next is specify how much you’re donating to which cause.
