Celebrating our culture, strengthening our community and creating a home away from home for Rwandan students at the University of Ottawa.
Our Mission
Culture. Community. Connection.
RWSA – AERW is dedicated to celebrating Rwandan culture, heritage and values while building a strong, welcoming community at the University of Ottawa. Our mission is to create a space where Rwandan students can connect, build meaningful relationships, celebrate their heritage and feel at home throughout their university experience.
Through cultural celebrations, social events, academic initiatives and collaborations with other student associations, we promote unity, learning and mutual support while creating opportunities to share the richness of Rwandan culture with the wider uOttawa community.
Whether you are Rwandan, have Rwandan roots, are a friend of Rwanda or are simply curious to discover our culture, RWSA – AERW welcomes you.
