We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.

Kashi fondly remembers the beginning of her U of T Scarborough experience: “The first day on campus was by far one of my most memorable experiences. The people I met on my first day, and throughout my first week on campus, have become some of my closest friends.” Since then, Kashi has made the most of her time as a student by getting involved. “ I chose to be part of a lot of clubs because I really wanted to get involved and get connected with students on campus. The experiences not only allow you to build skills, but also to network and meet like-minded individuals. Law Society of UTSC, UTSC StudyHub, Margins Magazine (UTSC’s Women’s and Trans Centre’s in-house publication), Scarborough Campus Students’ Union, and all of the non-profit organizations I am part of really allow me to put myself out there, get involved, meet people within my program, and develop skills that will last a lifetime.” Kashi notes that her involvement on campus has transformed her from a quiet high school student to a leader known for her advocacy and people skills.

Smart Cities Workshop at The Hub

JUST SOME OF THE INNOVATIONS AT U OF T SCARBOROUGH 58 companies formed in 2019–2020 at The Hub, U of T Scarborough’s incubator for student entrepreneurs. In 2020, the Knowledge Equity Lab launched at U of T Scarborough. The lab’s mission is to elevate marginalized voices in academia and challenge multiple forms of exclusion within the structure of knowledge production and exchange. The lab will also promote collaborations with community leaders, Indigenous scholars, farmers, artists, students, and people outside academia who may have knowledge about a specific area affected by systemic bias. An Anthropology professor from U of T Scarborough participated on a research team that discovered that ostrich eggshell beads traded more than 30,000 years ago offer the earliest proof of social networking among humans. The BRIDGE, a collaboration between the Department of Management and the U of T Scarborough Library, is a best-in-class business research centre where students access and analyze real-time data, market intelligence, industry research and company profiles.

INNOVATION We are always searching for better ways to think, learn and educate. Within the University of Toronto’s tri-campus system, U of T Scarborough has earned the reputation of being the place for innovative students seeking real-world experience. SUCCEED BEYOND GRADUATION

SRISUDHAKAR NOWDURI

Human Biology & Biochemistry Scarborough, Ontario The Undergraduate Research Poster Forum gives students the opportunity to present their research addressing issues of local, national and global importance. Srisudhakar placed second in 2020 with his poster on the effects of surface stiffness and hydrophilicity (wetness level) on bacteria adhesion. As a member of HOSA at U of T Scarborough (an organization for future health-care professionals), Srisudhakar also showcased his academic and research experience as a competitor in the Biomedical Debate. After winning multiple medals in national and international competitions, he trained other students participating in the event. Srisudhakar was also a reviewer on the Journal of Natural Sciences, established at U of T Scarborough in 2018. “ Taking part in research has given me a greater appreciation of the science principles I read about in textbooks. Experiencing the cycles of failed experiments and repeated trials before a breakthrough gave me a glimpse of the amount of effort that goes into expanding our understanding of the world through science.”

ENVIRONMENT When you step on the campus, you can see why so many students choose us. U of T Scarborough is nestled in 300 acres of the Highland Creek Valley, a gorgeous parkland that is one of Toronto’s most vibrant green spaces.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY CAMPUS

For students studying away from home, building a community on campus makes for a full university experience. Living in on-campus student housing helps students move out of their comfort zones and meet new people. Adam enjoyed living on campus so much, he joined the Residence Life Team in his second year to promote a safe and supportive space for students to study and live in. He shares, “The best part about living on campus is the incredible community. Students from all over the world are able to share their culture and life experiences with one another. It makes for a diverse, welcoming and awesome place to be.” Living independently may sometimes feel overwhelming but there is always an aspect that will make you feel at home. For Adam, it was the close proximity to nature. “ Growing up in Northwestern Ontario, I was always outside. Getting outdoors has always been my way of recharging my batteries. Seeing a deer run across campus or spending some time in the valley helps me slow down and relax after a week of studying.”

EXPERIENCE Let yourself go beyond books and lectures. Through meaningful volunteer opportunities, stimulating field courses and eye-opening international exchanges, you receive first-hand understanding of what you’re learning in the classroom and how it applies to the world.

Strategic Management (Co-op) Calgary, Alberta Esther knows firsthand that getting involved in clubs and extracurricular activities is one of the best ways to meet new people, find support and grow your network. U of T Scarborough has numerous student clubs, as well as the opportunity to create new ones. Esther wanted to build a community of Black students in Management programs so she founded the Black Students in Business Club. The group’s leadership team launched various initiatives such as the inaugural LEAD Conference, an event for Black high school students to connect with current Black students in Management programs at U of T Scarborough. “ As the founder of the Black Students in Business Club, my team and I were able to create a community to support Black students pursuing business. Our mandate is to empower, enrich and enlighten students in their pursuit of a business degree through the different internal and external events that we hold throughout the school year.”

Molecular Biology & Biotechnology (Co-op) Jamshedpur, India Abhimanyu came from a small town in India to pursue his passion for science and technology. “U of T Scarborough has the perfect mixture of urbanization and nature which is the kind of place I always wanted to study in. I enjoy Toronto’s awesome nightlife, but also love that when I need to take a break on campus, I can walk down to the valley to skip stones and refresh my mind.” The warm and welcoming community at U of T Scarborough also helped Abhimanyu feel at home in Canada. “The International Student Centre organized check-in meetings and supported me through my transition here to Canada.” Abhimanyu’s involvement in student life has also helped him to flourish. “ I have been a part of TEDxUTSC for the past two years and conducting conferences has taught me a lot about communication and networking. I was also the co-vice president of the Hindu Students’ Council and the Director of International Students on the Scarborough Campus Students’ Union.”

ALFONSO RALPH MENDOZA MANALO

Global Asia Studies & Public Policy (Co-op) North York, Ontario Alfonso chose U of T Scarborough for a variety of reasons, including the flexibility of program selection and the opportunity to broadly explore courses in humanities and social sciences in first year. He chose Global Asia Studies to expand his understanding of Asian identities, Asian policies, and Asian perspectives and lived experiences. Alfonso is also majoring in Public Policy. The interdisciplinary nature of this major means he has taken courses in economics, public administration, social policy, and comparative politics. Alfonso’s studies were applied in his co-op work term as an Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Policy Advisor with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). His tasks included revising and commenting on policies, developing an anti-racism course for all RCMP personnel, and working on reports submitted to the Minister of Public Safety and Cabinet. “ Co-op showed me the importance of a good mentor. My research team and supervisors have taught me a lot about what it means to be a good scientist. They helped me grow beyond my comfort zone, and have challenged me to strive to be the best version of myself.”

“The Resistable Rise of Arturio Ui”

Arts Management Toronto, Ontario

Sylvie had a passion for both arts and business, so she decided that Arts Management would be the perfect program for her. She loves the opportunities for experiential learning and independent research both inside and outside of the classroom. “I like the small class sizes and the chance to develop strong working relationships with professors. The Arts Management program provides a good balance of theoretical and practical courses, which helps students to either go straight into the field, or pursue graduate studies.” Sylvie combined her love of arts, community and leadership as the Director of Community Relations & Development and Festival Lead for ARTSIDEOUT. The festival transforms U of T Scarborough with site-specific installations, exhibitions, performances and film screenings. “ Being part of ARTSIDEOUT has been one of the highlights of my university experience. I was able to put the concepts and theories I learned in class into practice—from planning and implementing the festival’s first-ever high school outreach tour and executive leadership retreat, to eventually leading the organization’s largest festival yet!”

MICHAEL GAYLE

Psychology Scarborough, Ontario Michael chose to pursue undergraduate studies after the completion of a college diploma. “At U of T Scarborough, you are offered a very academically diverse experience. I chose to major in Psychology and minor in Anthropology because I enjoy sciences of exploration.” He appreciates how involved his studies are in a broad range of subjects. “I get to study principle subjects like neuroscience, but also can explore more ornate or abstract subjects like the study of emotion or music cognition.” Michael is also pursuing a minor in English Literature, a high area of interest as the author of two children’s books. “The atmosphere at U of T Scarborough is not like any other universities I have visited. The environment is welcoming and will be exactly what you make of it.” Michael also pursued studies away from the U of T Scarborough campus as an exchange student in Italy. “ It was an invaluable experience academically and in every other way possible. I encourage everyone with the opportunity and desire to study abroad to definitely do so!”

Management (Co-op) Surabaya, Indonesia Michelle considers her time at U of T Scarborough to be one of transformation. “I started as a shy, reserved, but highly ambitious first-year student. Fast forward to this year: I won Teaching Assistant of the Year, a Case Competition, Management and Economics Student of the Year, became co-president of my club Human Resources Alliance (HRA), and landed my dream job at Deloitte.” Michelle credits the support of her professors and the practicality of co-op work terms with helping her to understand how businesses function and giving her the ability to see the bigger picture. She also learned that mistakes aren’t a sign of failure, but rather a valuable opportunity for growth. “ Not only are students always helping and supporting one another, but the faculty is also top-notch.
