What is Graditude?

Graditude is a way for students to leave their mark at Skule. It is a gift to the future generations of Skule students who will benefit from your contributions. Graditude is also a demonstration of thankfulness.

As part of the ChemE Graditude campaign this year, our students will be hosting a faculty/staff talent night and are requesting submissions from you to perform your hidden talents. Please consider participating in their event to be scheduled for mid-February.

If you're athletic, our students will also be running a student vs. faculty/staff dodgeball match and are looking for participants. The game will take place on Friday, January 17 from 6-8pm at Hart House.

Please send questions regarding the two events to larissa.rodo@mail.utoronto.ca
