The Society of The Creative School (external link) is the first student-led umbrella society in a creative faculty in North America. The society builds community throughout the faculty, hosts professional development conferences and competitions, and offers over $200,000 in extracurricular funding for student projects.
The Creative Industries Course Union (external link) represents students, working with faculty and university leaders. They create social opportunities to hang out as a group — karaoke, ice skating, board game parties, and pub nights. The union brings all four years of Creative Industries together, helping create a program family during your years at Toronto Metropolitan University.
