New Undergraduate Research Fund
/in Uncategorized/by setojaneThe Undergraduate Research Fund has been established, jointly with the Arts & Science Students’ Union (ASSU), to help undergraduate students defray the costs of engaging in research. The purpose of the Fund is to foster research experience at the undergraduate level by providing students with an opportunity to develop a research project of their own, for which there is no other available funding. The Fund should be used for research initiated by students and related to their degree, either through a regular course, an independent study, a research essay, or other academic project supervised by a faculty member. Students may want, for example, to explore in more depth ideas that emerged in a 299Y course, or develop further some implications of the research they have done in a seminar, or undertake the additional research required to turn a final essay into a journal article, etc.
The Fund is open to all Arts & Science students in good academic standing – no minimum GPA is required. Group research is eligible (with a maximum of three students per group). There will be two competitions per year: November 28, 2011 and March 12, 2012.

/0 Comments/by setojaneTerry Buckland Memorial
/in Uncategorized/by GavinThe Arts and Science Students’ Union and the University of Toronto are holding a small memorial on Friday so that his friends and colleagues can come together and celebrate his life. The organizers hope to honour his wishes in keeping this memorial simple and modest.
The reception will be held on September 18, 2009 at 4 pm on the second floor of the University of Toronto Multi-faith Centre located at 569 Spadina Avenue.
Terry felt very strongly about the development of area studies at the University of Toronto and over the years had helped ASSU Presidents take a stand on this very important issue. He held a particular affinity to South Asian Studies and over the years had built a strong working relationship with the program and its former home, New College. In his memory, New College and ASSU are working to put together an endowed Bursary fund, the “Terry Buckland Memorial Bursary” which will generate at least one bursary every year for a student interested in social justice and equity issues in South Asia. In lieu of flowers, donations to the “Terry Buckland Memorial Fund” will be accepted at the reception.
