Calling all students who seek a transformative educational experience 

The Academic Advising & Career Centre is committed to providing holistic, academic, and career support that centers the experiences, perspectives, and cultural heritage of African, Black and Caribbean students at UTSC. Culturally relevant advising is rooted in the recognition of the unique needs and aspirations of African diaspora students and seeks to provide guidance and support that aligns with their cultural background and identity.
