The Telfer Human Resources Association (HRA) is a non-for profit organization that was established in 2008. The Telfer HRA is proud to be recognized as one of the 13 clubs and associations existing within the Telfer School at the University of Ottawa. It was established with an aspiration to provide Telfer students the opportunity to further develop their knowledge of professional designations attainable in the field of HR. Any proceeds that are raised through membership fees, sponsorship, events, and other fundraising activities are used to coordinate professional networking events for the students enrolled at the Telfer School. The HRA has four main ambitions that are the core of its beliefs. These ambitions are: Achieve our Goal: To foster business relationships for all University of Ottawa students through networking, socials events, academic competitions and professional business.
