Study with STRIVE is back!

We know Learning Strategy/Assistive Technology (LS/AT) appointments can be hard to book because they're in high demand, so we’re excited to bring back our  LS/AT drop-in sessions: Study with STRIVE!

Join us in this virtual study hall just for students with disabilities where you can study alongside your peers and get the support you need. A Learning & Assistive Technology Strategist will be present to facilitate the session and help you stay motivated and on track.

Here’s a glimpse of what you can expect from Study with STRIVE:

  • We start the study session by reflecting on our goals/getting clear on our intentions: 
    • What academic work are you hoping to focus on today? 
    • How much time do you want to spend on it? 
    • What needs to take priority? 
    • What tasks do you have capacity for today?
  • Then we’ll work independently, alongside each other
  • We’ll come together for the last 5 minutes to talk (without judgment) about:
    • Where did you land? 
    • How is your course work going? 
    • What’s next to work through?


Note: this is a dedicated space for quiet studying - if you have any questions related to your accommodations or the BSWD, you must book a 1:1 LS/AT appointment or meet with your Facilitator. 

Details:

Date: Tuesdays, starting October 8, 2024

Time: 2:00 - 3:00 pm

We want you to know

Most STRIVE programming is hosted on Zoom. This virtual space will be similar to the in-person experience of STRIVE. That means other students will be able to view your name and video (optional), as well as hear your voice. We will not share any confidential information and what you choose to share with the group is up to you. To join our virtual programs you must be logged in to your TMU account.

If you have questions or require accommodations to participate in any STRIVE program, email strive@torontomu.ca
