Day in the Life (DITL) is an immersive program for equity-deserving youth to participate in creative community-building sessions on campus, meet with current students and professors, and explore various careers and pathways to post-secondary education. It encourages students to see U of T as a viable pathway to post-secondary education. By coming onto campus and engaging with members of the community who reflect their perspectives, we hope we can encourage them to see University differently; addressing anxieties and concerns they may have.
One iteration of DITL is offered to students from Sir Robert L. Borden Business and Technical Institute. The half-day visit to UTSC may include: a computer lab session, a campus tour, and a presentation with current UTSC students.
