In case you missed it via @UofT:
In a letter to students, faculty, and staff on March 28, President Gertler @uoftpres announced that the University of Toronto will implement a four-part plan of action on student mental health and wellness.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To initiate part one of the action plan, the call for nominations is now open for the Presidential & Provostial Task Force on Student Mental Health. ⠀
We recognize that end of term is a very busy time of year, but also know that this cannot wait.
We encourage nominations (including self-nominations) to be submitted by April 24, 2019. Submit your nomination at https://forms.provost.utoronto.ca/mental-health-task-force-nominations/.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Task Force will begin its work immediately and will consult widely among all stakeholder groups in the #UofT community. We hope you will consider being part of this initiative. 📸 by 4th year @rotmancommerce student @charleswangz
Yesterday, 27 Varsity Blues athletes were honoured with Silver T awards at the 14th annual President's Reception at the Goldring Centre for High Performance Sport. U of T President Meric Gertler hosted the annual event, which recognizes the athletic excellence of the Varsity Blues, while acknowledging the hard work and dedication of staff, students and volunteers who make the Varsity Blues intercollegiate program possible.
Laura Amoi (1st photo) is a fifth year Rotman Commerce student and member of the Varsity Blues track and field team. She received a Silver T award on Tuesday.
She joined the track and field team in her first year as an undergraduate student, specializing in the long jump and triple jump program. Amoi says that being on the varsity team also gave her a family of teammates and coaches she wouldn’t have met otherwise “and those are relationships that are going to last for a lifetime.”
“It’s not been an easy ride, there have been a lot of ups and downs and sometimes the downs lasted for a month or two months or even a year, due to injuries or academic difficulties. But, this feels like a reward for the perseverance,” said Amoi.
Amoi joined Gabriel Nakonechny and Graham Tebbitt (2nd photo), Kylie Masse (3rd photo) and 23 other students in receiving a Silver T award.
The prestigious Silver T is awarded primarily to Bronze T holders in their graduating year for outstanding athletic performance.
