In light of recent events, we are sharing our commitment to anti-racism and recognize the impacts of racism on the health and wellness of our UTSC community.
The sad truth is, though these are recent events, this is a global and historical issue that impacts our community, especially students who identify as Black.
The Health & Wellness Centre is committed to building a community that is free from racism.
