It’s a volunteer appreciation party for UTSU (University of Toronto Student Union). There’ll be free food and also an “appreciation ceremony”. On their facebook event page is a list of all the things that UTSU did this year, and it’s quite an impressive list. A little self-congratulatory perhaps? But hey, everyone needs a little appreciation once in a while.

Two pats on the back for sure, UTSU. Perhaps you disagree… having never actually found out/or gone to any of the events on that list. Well, why not go to this one. Tell them how they can improve and do better next year while eating their free food. It’s a win win.

When: Monday, April 30, 2007, 4pm – 6pm
Where: Croft Chapter House at University College, 15 Kings College Circle
Details: There will be free food. What kind? I’m not sure, it doesn’t say. See Facebook event page.

Awww, how nice. UTSU cares! They really care!

Too much on your mind to remember.. well.. to eat? Have to study late at night? Need to study at Robarts to concentrate? Don’t worry cause U.T.S.U.’s Got You! On Monday April 23rd to Wednesday April 25th, U.T.S.U. will be offering FREE fair trade coffee, tea, juice, granola bars and fruit at Robarts Library from 12:00am to 2:00am.

Am I going to be at Robarts from midnight to 2am? No. Guess I’ll miss out on the coffee and snacks. But hey, at least it’s a nice gesture.

When: Monday April 23rd to Wednesday April 25th, Midnight to 2:00 am
Where: Robarts Library, Second Floor
What: FREE fair trade coffee, tea, juice, granola bars and fruit

We’re excited to introduce the new column “Guest Blogger” here at blogUT. Guest Blogger will consist of a series of informal interviews with people who are involved with U of T campus groups, organizations, and clubs (and who knows, maybe even U of T administration). We hope it’ll be a great way for our readers to find out more about a specific part of campus life.

Amidst the unrolling of mattresses, painting of banners, and pinning down of tents in preparation for the Freeze The Fees Campout on Wednesday, Emily Shelton found the time to sit down and have a brief chat with me. Thanks a ton to Emily for finding the time to do this with us!
