I’ll admit that when I first heard about the volunteer note-taking program, I was kind of hesitant to join. I didn’t know how helpful it would be, and whether or not I felt comfortable sharing my...

Living on residence is unlike any other experience I’ve had— you’re surrounded by people at all times, you’re likely eating from a dining hall, and you’re dealing with lots of school work on top of...

Santiago is a mad city. At least, for me it is. Santiago’s total population stands at just under 7 million and that number is easily felt every day. From the claustrophobically packed subways, to the...

When I first started at U of T, I worried a lot about how hard university would actually be. For high school, I went to a public school with a strong academic reputation. Now that I’m in university,...

posted "The optional fees are those which fund everything that's made the University of Toronto community that I love so lively for so long." In her latest post, Life at U of T blogger Francesca discusses the Student Choice Initiative and why opting in was an easy choice. #ChooseUofT posted Mark your calendars, #UofT! Starting Sept. 9, drop in for weekly morning yoga & mindfulness meditation with Professor Owen Ware, followed by tea and a light breakfast — Thursdays, 8-9am at the Koffler House, Room 208. Beginners welcome, and mats are available on site. More info here: http://uoft.me/mindfulmoments posted It’s #WorkStudyWednesday! Here’s 3rd-year University of Toronto student Josanne Buchanan’s Work Study story.🌟
“Last year, I worked as the Project Coordinator for an inspiring multimedia series called the #FOMO (Future Of My Own) Project. It used storytelling to encourage students to eliminate the Fear Of Missing Out in their lives, and begin working towards a future they’re passionate about.
My work study position gave me the chance to grow in ways I could never have imagined. 🌸
Not only did I get the opportunity to use my psychology knowledge to amplify the project’s objectives (shout-out to Bandura’s self-efficacy theory!), but I also developed skills, like public-speaking, critical research, interviewing, graphic design and project management.
Without a doubt, I can say the immersive nature of my position helped me clarify my passions, connect with wonderful people and develop a diverse skillset that I can use to make a difference in the world.
My advice to #UofT students considering a work study position? Allow yourself to learn as much as you can about everything you encounter through your role.
Many of us aren’t yet sure where our passions lie. For those of us who are, we know that despite our interests, it is beneficial to have a transdisciplinary set of skills and a holistic view of our interconnected world.
So, in whatever position you choose, learn as much as you can about the people that you’re working with, about the technologies you’re using, about the theories underlying your work. Maybe you can use something you learned in lecture to solve a problem in your position.
Being a motivated self-learner helps you grow beyond the scope of your job description so you leave your work-study position feeling informed and fulfilled.
With an eager attitude and a mindset oriented toward learning, you will make a meaningful contribution in any position. 😊”
