Message From Our President:
Dear Policython members,
I am so excited to have the opportunity to welcome you to University of Toronto Policython. As youth, we are often excluded from politics and formal institutions that nevertheless dictate our daily lives. We have powerful and valid insights on current issues and on our societies in the future. I hope that your experiences at UTP can strengthen your voice and build on the set of skills necessary to challenge the system. My team and I have worked to create a community here at U of T where you can grow and start your steps in building the world to come. Thank you sincerely for your interest in UTP and your sense of initiative for change. I hope that you have a great time with this new community.
Warmly,
Miu Hu (she/ her)
President, University of Toronto Policython

Make Your Team!
Policython is infinitely better with a team. No friends :( ? No problem! We've made a space for you to meet new people. We will be using Gather.Town to simulate an in-person networking event where you can find people to join your team for the Policython event. Come out to chat, play games, and take a break this reading week. You will also get the opportunity to meet UTP’s President and VPs, Stream Directors, as well as Officers. There are limited spots available for each session in the next couple of weeks so sign up quick— especially if you usually can't make our workshops. Don’t miss out on the chance to build connections and find your dream team for Policython.
