I got to help host these with different groups on campus, such as the Healthy U Crew, the University of Toronto International Health Program and Juxtaposition Global Health Magazine. And even better, I got to share them with all of you amazing readers through the Community Crew!\r\n\r\nWhat do all of these groups have in common though? They\u2019re all under the Office of Student Life here at U of T! The Peer Teams and student groups on campus focus on community engagement, student involvement and building a healthier, happier campus.To appreciate the efforts of all these groups, The Office of Student Life held its first ever Recognition Event!\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2015\/04\/FullSizeRender.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-23968 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2015\/04\/FullSizeRender.jpg\" alt=\"Picture of projection at event reading &quot;U of T recognizes&quot;\" width=\"321\" height=\"348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2015\/04\/FullSizeRender.jpg 590w, https:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2015\/04\/FullSizeRender-276x300.jpg 276w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 321px) 100vw, 321px\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nFellow blogger Peter and I had the pleasure of emceeing the event, so you can be sure that we sufficiently entertained the crowd with plenty of clever banter. It\u2019s an insanely busy week for everyone, but I\u2019m glad I decided to go to this event because it was actually a form of stress relief. We got to mingle with other leaders and all the amazing Student Life staff that make it possible for teams like ours to do the work we do.\r\n\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_23969\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23969\" style=\"width: 337px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2015\/04\/IMG_6620.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-23969\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2015\/04\/IMG_6620.jpg\" alt=\"Picture of community crew members who were present.

But what I really loved was seeing the diversity of all initiatives undertaken by students, and seeing all the impact it\u2019s had on the campus and on the community.
