What’s happening at the Innovation Hub?

Working in partnership, the Centre for International Experience and the Innovation Hub seek to feature stories of six globally minded students who have become changemakers through transformative experiences learning abroad. Students who, through learning in new and unfamiliar parts of the world, gained confidence, overcame barriers, broadened their perspectives, and ultimately created impact in areas such as healthcare, climate change, technology, social justice initiatives, and beyond.

Working in partnership, Accessibility Services and the Innovation Hub seek to share the individual stories of six neurodivergent students in a documentary short that will be shared with the university community and beyond. By highlighting the experiences of neurodivergent students, the goal is to inspire conversations about more inclusive practices to support diverse students across the University of Toronto. 

The University of Toronto deeply values its relationship with student leaders in its governance processes. In partnership with the Office of the Vice Provost Students (OVPS), the Innovation Hub seeks to better understand the needs of student leaders in executive positions.

The Innovation Hub continues its partnership with the and Family Care Office to synthesize learnings from several years of design research to explore how to create a more family-friendly university. This year, we aim to create a ‘mini-site’ of resources embedded with the Family Care Office website that focuses on helping staff, faculty, and student leaders at U of T to become more family-friendly in their day-to-day practices.
