Build Your ExperienceThis time of year, the cold weather and shortened days can weigh heavily on even the most winter-loving person. While the impulse to hibernate until warmer weather arrives may be strong, it is the perfect season to get involved with your U of T community. Through its clubs, Varsity Blues sports, and classes, the University offers countless exciting opportunities for students to beat the winter blues. Additionally, through the Co-Curricular Record (CCR) there is a chance to receive an official record of the skills and experiences you’ve learned through your involvement, an invaluable tool for career development. This month, the Engineering Student e-Newsletter puts a spotlight on Engineering undergrads doing inspiring things both in and out of the classroom. Whether it is working collaboratively and competing in the Great Northern Toboggan Race, leveraging classroom knowledge and technology to address healthcare challenges or finishing the season with a perfect record, our students are working together to make an impact. |
