Interested in getting more involved in the iSchool community? Looking for a volunteer opportunity with flexible hours? Consider becoming a Peer Mentor!

The iSchool Peer Mentoring Program at University of Toronto is looking for second year MMSt and CDP students to help first year students make the big transition. Get partnered with a mentee, or participate in the “drop-in” option. Being a peer mentor also means you get access to training and PMI events!

MUSEUMS IN THE COMMUNITY

Check out these amazing exhibitions running this month!

Art exhibit, August 5 to December 31

Louisa Pipkin was a freedom seeker, who escaped enslavement in the United States and came to Canada where she worked as a laundress in the 1870s for the Austin family, the founders of the Dominion Bank of Canada and the homeowners of Spadina. Dis/Mantle is inspired by the real Mrs. Pipkin and the efforts of Black abolitionists.

Explore Spadina Museum from August 5 to December 31 for the Dis/Mantle art exhibit. Related programming includes Dis/Mantle Evening: Mrs. Pipkin’s Manor on August 5 and 6 and an artist talk and tour with Gordon Shadrach on September 17.
