Alumni Connecting-and-Networking Receptions
Our alumni eagerly anticipate the four connecting-and-networking receptions UOIT holds each year.
These gatherings provide opportunities for local and distant alumni to gather together and stay
engaged with UOIT. They learn about the Alumni Association's plans and activities. They share
interesting conversation and news about the exciting updates and events happening on campus.
They reconnect with fellow alumni and faculty members and they make new connections.
More than 8,200 alumni are invited to each of these receptions, which are held in cities where the
greatest number of our alumni reside. These events are generally informal receptions with snacks,
refreshments and opportunities to win prizes.
Receptions are held in the spring or fall in Toronto, Oshawa, Calgary and one additional location to
be confirmed.
As a sponsor, you partner with UOIT in presenting a memorable event. You also acquire visibility and
reach within our exclusive audience. And, by showcasing your sponsorship in a casual and congenial
setting, you also have an opportunity to initiate relationships with a young community that is
becoming increasingly influential.

Alumni Online Magazine
Our young alumni are emerging entrepreneurs, professionals, researchers and executives. They are
working in business, technology, education, engineering and in health, nuclear and social sciences.
They are also fans and supporters of the University of Ontario Institute of Technology and have
strong ties to our institution and to their UOIT peers. And this is why we are launching a magazine
this fall for our loyal alumni.
Available to more than 8,200 graduates and also available online to others, this online magazine will
share the spirit of UOIT. Each issue will be designed to engage and inform readers, to celebrate their

Post-Convocation Receptions

accomplishments: our new graduates and all who supported them along the way, especially their
families and friends and the faculty members and staff of the university.
Each year UOIT holds seven convocations, one for each faculty. Sponsors are invited to join UOIT in
welcoming the university's newest alumni – and Canada's future leaders and entrepreneurs – at

Varsity Sponsorships
The University of Ontario Institute of Technology is the proud home of the Ridgebacks, our group of
competitive athletic teams.
In 2006 UOIT became the 19th university to join the Ontario University Athletics network. Our roster
of varsity sports teams compete in tennis, soccer, lacrosse, curling, golf, rowing, dance and hockey
and are building a fierce reputation at the provincial and national levels.
A Ridgeback is a large, well muscled hunting dog that is legendary for its ability to hunt lions.
Strong, confident and extremely competitive, the Ridgeback thrives on vigorous exercise and athletic
activities.
Go, Ridgebacks!!
From Homecoming to playoffs, UOIT students and alumni are proud Ridgebacks and engage
passionately in competitions. When you partner with UOIT, you connect with competitive athletes and
faithful fans.

to 19 universities and 300 athletes, coaches and staff from across the province to participate in
