SEE U of T Scarborough (SEE UTSC) is an access program and collaboration between the University of Toronto Scarborough (U of T Scarborough) and the Toronto District School Board (TDSB). SEE UTSC brings Black and Indigenous-identifying students from partnering Scarborough schools to UTSC, developing each – academically, personally, and professionally – through 10 months of programming to prepare for their post-secondary transition. Our vision is providing a pathway for participants to see post-secondary studies as an option, and to see the University of Toronto as a place where they belong and thrive. Throughout SEE UTSC, our primary goal is empowering students to develop self-efficacy. We provide opportunities and tools to each, enabling them to make informed decisions based on their academic and professional priorities.
