More than 1,000 signatures in just 3 days! Plus de 1 000 signatures en seulement 3 jours! Keep signing & sharing the petition to save Greek & Roman Studies at uOttawa. Continuez à signer et à partager! buff.ly/1azgdKV #ottawa #SOSÉtudesAnciennes #SOSClassicsUO #onfr
Please consider signing this very important petition to keep Greek & Roman Studies at uOttawa 👇🏻
Please sign this petition to save the Honours Classics program at the University of Ottawa, the same program from which I graduated in 2003. This is also the only program in Ontario that delivers Greek and Latin training to Franco-Ontarians, and its loss would be immeasurable for that community.
This was the program from which I received my Honours in Classics and now the university is effectively shutting it down by gutting the language program. Join me in writing the university to save the program that offered me so many opportunities and shaped me into the scholar I am today.
