STUDENT NEWS AT U OF T
U of T summer mentorship program creates connections for Black and Indigenous youth
Weaving needles into silicon skin pads isn’t what you’d expect many high school students to do on their summer break.
But this workshop in suturing – which creates strong, supportive connections to seal a wound – is just one example of the experiences offered by the University of Toronto's summer mentorship program (SMP). It’s also a metaphor for the program’s goals.
High school students dig into the past during Archaeology Centre summer program
“Archeology is the same as history; it tells a story,” says Grade 11 student Scarlet Lowrie.
This summer, she joined four other high school students from across Ontario with a mutual love of history and curiosity about the past for a two-week intensive program offered by the department of anthropology’s Archaeology Centre in the Faculty of Arts & Science.
Now in its fourth year, the program was led by PhD students Danielle Desmarais, Elliott Fuller and Emma Yasui.
U of T reaches agreement to build 23-storey student residence
Facing a housing crunch, the University of Toronto has reached an agreement with the city and local community groups that allows it to build a badly needed new 23-storey student residence at the corner of Spadina and Sussex Avenues.
The slender tower, the first new residence building to be constructed on the downtown Toronto campus in a decade, will house 511 students in a bright, airy structure that mixes modern residence spaces with lively retail storefronts.
It will also incorporate a three-storey heritage building into its façade.

“There was diversity of thought, opinions, and debate at U of T. I learned not only how to navigate through different cultures and with different languages, but also to immerse myself in opportunities that challenged me intellectually."

ONE UNIVERSITY, THREE CAMPUSES
The college system
All students within the Faculty of Arts & Science on the downtown Toronto (St. George) campus are affiliated with one of seven colleges. These colleges have deep roots in the history of the University of Toronto; the college system dates back to the earliest days of the university and remains one of its distinctive features. The colleges are a home base for their students and provide the advantages of a closer-knit community experience within a large research university.
