STRIVE

Strive - 2

Are you looking for learning strategy (LS) or assistive technology (AT) support? Do you want to meet and connect with other students with disabilities in an inclusive environment? 

Hosted by the AAS Inclusive Learning team, STRIVE is a virtual LS/AT series guiding students with disabilities through key aspects of their learning experience in a collaborative group setting.

This semester we are entering into our STRIVE era! Finding joy in the pursuit of knowledge, seeking guidance, connecting with mentors and saying “Yes” to new opportunities to expand as a student. We’re doing it all and we’re doing it together at STRIVE. Here's what's coming up:

STRIVE

We want you to know

Most STRIVE programming is hosted on Zoom. This virtual space will be similar to the in-person experience of STRIVE. That means other students will be able to view your name and video (optional), as well as hear your voice. We will not share any confidential information and what you choose to share with the group is up to you. To join our virtual programs you must be logged in to your TMU account.

If you have questions or require accommodations to participate in any STRIVE program, email strive@torontomu.ca
