Season's GreetingsTime flies when you are studying at Canada’s top engineering school. It's December and while the first snowfalls blanket Toronto, many of you are hunkering down with a cup of hot cocoa and a semester's worth of study notes. We encourage you to take a ten-minute break and discover some of the awards and honours bestowed on your fellow students this past month, attend an exam de-stress event and show some Graditude. December is also the time when we remember the tragic events at École Polytechnique and take action to prevent violence in our community. |
