FEAS student groups (chapters, course unions or interest groups) offer opportunities to advocate for your peers, to hone your skills in a particular area or to simply belong to a group of like-minded students. Explore our student groups below:
Chapter, course union or interest group — what’s the difference?
A chapter: shares the same mission and values as their larger parent organization, but operates independently at Toronto Metropolitan University.
A course union is a group within each department whose leadership organizes events and provides important information to students. All full-time undergraduate students are automatically members of their departmental course union.
An interest group runs events and workshops based on a shared hobby or idea.
