August 13, 2024

One of my favourite memories at Woodsworth was being a Residence Don and Staff Member (in addition to being a student) at the College!

The friendships that I made here so many years ago are still ones I cherish to this day! Being part of such a vibrant and fun student population, and being able to build a sense of community with like-minded people was one of the best times of my undergraduate career.

Being part of this college gave me a safe space within which I could explore my interests and also push myself to grow and learn in so many different ways. I'll forever be grateful for the experiences I've had here!
 

After Graduation 

After graduating from Woodsworth, I completed my Masters in Public Health in 2015 from DLSPH, then went onto work for various levels of government, started a not-for-profit organization (S.E.E.D.S.) that serves low-income neighbourhoods in Toronto that was funded by the municipal, provincial and federal government. I also graduated from the Ontario Psychotherapy and Counselling program in 2021 and am currently working as a Registered Psychotherapist in private practice.

Cancer researcher, entrepreneur and Justin Bieber’s DJ: A&S alum Amir Alam is a man of many talents

December 9, 2024

Amir Alam’s journey to the Faculty of Arts & Science started with a bet.

As a teenager, his love for creating music was ignited one night when he saw a DJ spinning records for a raucous crowd. He struck a deal with his mother: if he got accepted to every major Canadian university he applied to, she would buy him his first set of turntables. He won the wager after fast-tracking his last year of high school and receiving an offer of admission from U of T (along with other top-ranked schools) a few months later.
