“Our executive team came into this year with a clear mission: make student life more accessible and more visible for everyone,” said Coen. “We know how hard our campus leaders and clubs work to build community, and it’s our job to give them the tools and platform to shine.”

For many students, one of the biggest barriers to engagement is visibility. Without a centralized platform to showcase their efforts, clubs that work tirelessly to build community often go unnoticed. This year’s UOSU executive team is bringing a new light to this old problem.

“We knew we had to tackle this challenge in an innovative way,” said Emilia Bah, interim Student Life Commissioner. “There’s so much happening at uOttawa, but it’s often hard for students to find and navigate. When we saw what Bounce could offer, a single place where everything comes together, it became an easy decision.”

“If Bounce had existed in my first year, I would have felt way less overwhelmed. There were so many events and clubs happening, but it was hard to know what was actually going on or, when, or where.” said Mari Laviola, a uOttawa undergraduate student, “Now, everything’s going to be in one place, like a living map of campus life. I’m excited because it’s going to change how students meet friends, discover what we are into, and actually become a part of the community much earlier and more easily”.
