MESSAGE FROM THE RUAA
Supporting a stronger RU
Ryerson has come a long way in 70 years and is a testament to what can be achieved when people from diverse backgrounds come together. The Ryerson University Alumni Association (RUAA) Board endeavours to bring together our diverse alumni in a collaborative setting to work on projects and initiatives that support Ryerson. This year, the board opted for more committee-based work, a change that has increased collaboration amongst individual directors and provided more opportunities for alumni outside the board to contribute. To learn more about our initiatives and find out how you can get involved, please get in touch!
