📚🚪 Welcome to Doors Open Week in the UTSC English Department! 🚪📚

Join us for a week-long celebration of all things English as we open our doors to students for a unique opportunity to connect with professors. From Monday, March 18th to Friday, March 22nd, professors will be available during their office hours to chat with you about literature, writing, courses, and more!

This week is all about fostering connections and building a strong community within the department. Whether you're seeking academic advice, discussing your favorite books, or simply want to chat about your passion for the English language, our doors are open, and we're here to listen.

But wait, there's more! 🎉

As the culmination of Doors Open Week, we invite you and your friends to join us for a Mix 'n Mingle Lunch on Thursday, March 21st.
