Our tentative day program is here!

The Undergraduate Research Conference is a full-day event organized by the Arts and Science Students’ Union, which aims to recognize and showcase the scholarly research of UofT students. Come join us as we celebrate the research projects of diverse and multidisciplinary academic fields, within the natural sciences, quantitative sciences, humanities, and social sciences.

Admission is FREE to all U of T students – check out the program and abstracts to see which presentations you want to check out! This is a great way to see the kinds of research your peers are doing, and how they present their research to you.

We hope this conference will empower UofT students by recognizing the great work that is being produced on our campus, and encourage peer-to-peer information sharing.

ASSU Office Renovations

Starting June 12th, the ASSU Office in Sid Smith will be closed for renovations. We are super excited, and can’t wait to re-open in time for the start of the Fall term. We are grateful for all the hard work the staff of the Faculty of Arts and Science are doing to make these renovations happen. We are also grateful to Dean Cameron for his support.

The renovations are slated to take about three months to complete. During this time, the ASSU Office will temporarily move to Sid Smith room 2119. We will have limited services at our temporary office, including our test library, and printing services. Our staff will be in the temporary office able to answer any questions in person, or by email or phone.

We’ll keep posting updates throughout the summer as the renovations progress.

We can’t wait to see you all back in our new office in the fall!
