TRI-MENTORINGThe Tri-Mentoring Program is a centralized model that offers mentorship opportunities to students of all identities across all faculties. The program matches 1st year students with upper year students in the same program or with similar interests in order to help incoming students successfully transition into their 1st year at Ryerson. Mentors then have the opportunity to be matched with an industry professional & will gain guidance and encourage students to progress towards their goals. We facilitate student's learning, leadership and employment through mentoring, getting students involved and having them meet other people.

CENTRE FOR STUDENT DEVELOPMENT AND COUNSELINGThe CSDC offers free, confidential counselling services in a professional and friendly environment. Services are provided by our team of psychologists, counsellors, and master’s and doctoral interns.
Our services, programs and resources are intended to assist students not only to solve immediate problems, but also to define their personal, educational and career goals, and to acquire the self-confidence and transferable skills necessary for professional success and individual growth. We provide these services on a one-to-one basis or in a group format.

THE CONTINUISTThe Continuist is an online and printed publication run through the Faculty of Arts at Ryerson University. The Continuist is produced by students and is made up of artwork and other creations by students. Our goal is to give local artists in Toronto a means to publish their work for free, and for others to discover and appreciate some great work that they may not otherwise come across. We print small publications, run events, and hang out with other zinesters. Hang out with us. Join us! We don’t bite. We always need more members on our team. If you’d like to ask us anything or submit your work for publication, email [email protected].
