About the Univieristy of Guelph's Annual United Way Campaign

Every year, the Univieristy of Guelph comes together to support the local community by running an annual United Way Campaign. Traditionally, this campaign is held throughout the fall term, kicking-off in mid-September and wrapping up in December, during which a variety of fun, exciting, and engaging activities and events are held that help raise awarenes and funds for the important work that United Way GWD does.

Current Steering Committee Members

The Univieristy of Guelph's United Way Campaign would not be possible without the incredible volunteers on the Steering Committee who plan, facilitate, and lead the campus-wide efforts.
