GCAC has moved online! Check out upcoming workshops, courses and writing support
In keeping with the extraordinary circumstances with which we are all currently coping, the School of Graduate Studies’ Graduate Centre for Academic Communication (GCAC) has moved online; while the venue may have changed, one thing that won’t is our commitment to providing support to U of T grad students.
