Volunteer Ottawa is an organizing hub and leader for the non-profit sector in Ottawa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an honour to be asked to serve on the board, as well as a chance to live my ethos of service,\u201d adds Hornsby, who has served on a number of boards, including the World University Service of Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through this new role, Hornsby hopes to find opportunities for Carleton students, faculty and staff to engage in volunteer activities in the community, one of the pillars of Carleton\u2019s Strategic Integrated Plan<\/a>: Serve Ottawa \u2013 Serve the World.<\/p>\n\n\n
