Nortel embraces the many aspects of Corporate Citizenship in all of its endeavors, aiming to create a business in which all stakeholders can be proud of in their association with the company.

The University Relations team is dedicated to having a positive impact on education excellence and community citizenship, especially within our universities and colleges. We provide sponsorship to deserving groups and committees that host events or conferences which are strongly aligned to our business values and needs.

In the past, we have spent thousands of dollars on sponsorship opportunities, career development workshops, and membership meetings of professional diversity groups. Organizations we've been involved with include: IEEE, NSBE, SWE, SHPE, CUTC, and many more.
