Movember
The Mo, slang for moustache, and November come together each year for Movember.
Movember challenges men to change their appearance and the face of men’s health by growing a moustache. The rules are simple, start Movember 1st clean-shaven and then grow a moustache for the entire month. The moustache becomes the ribbon for men’s health, the means by which awareness and funds are raised for prostate cancer. Much like the commitment to run or walk for charity, the men of Movember commit to growing a moustache for 30 days. Mo bros and Mo sistas work together in order to raise as much money for the best Mo!
Last year’s Canadian campaign was the second largest in the world behind Australia, with 35,156 Mo Bros and Mo Sistas coming together to raise $7.8 million for Prostate Cancer Canada.
Let’s help the University of Ottawa reach their Movember goal by supporting the Telfer School of Management Movemeber team! You can join the Telfer School of Management Team at http://ca.movember.com/register/132810 . All donations can also be submitted to the Movember website. So call upon all of your Mo bros and Mo sistas and support this awesome cause!
Please email Meagan Minnings at vpsocial@cetsc.ca with any questions/ comments/ concerns.
You can see updates about Movember on our website www.cetsc.ca to get all of the details about our progress and upcoming events!
Cheers,
Telfer Student Council

All incoming Telfer School of Management first year students have the opportunity to participate in a week long orientation that introduces them to the University of Ottawa campus, the Telfer School of Management culture, and the City of Ottawa.
