What Our Students Say
I have had the opportunity to meet other students during the isolation of the pandemic.
At Hart House I can meet amazing artists, be surrounded by supportive and experienced people such as Barbara Fischer, develop my skills in arts research, and learn more about the Toronto arts scene.
I really enjoyed getting to meet so many new people. I enjoyed spending time with my mentor and gaining insight on how to make the best of my time here. I honestly wish the program were longer.
My time at U of T has been profoundly enriched by the leadership opportunities I had at Hart House, and my hope is to champion similar opportunities for fellow students.
I have been able to work to not only promote, but also encourage the accessibility and diversity of spaces – which is exciting in so many ways, especially for the future of Hart House and hopefully the university.
Being able to engage students across disciplines and years of study through their shared passion for music – and helping them realize that despite how large U of T may feel, there is still a community to belong to – is the most rewarding part of my experience at Hart House.
