Greetings travelers! Hello 2T8s!

My party and I have put together this Handbook to help guide you through your first year at U of T Engineering. In it, you’ll find info about F!rosh Week and academics, as well as a glimpse into the many, many facets of what life is like at Skule™. Whether you’d like to join a design team or club, be a silly goose and cause some community-sanctioned mischief, or do whatever else your heart desires, there’s a place for you here.

I’d like to extend a HUGE thank you to my amazing Handbook team – they’re the reason why this publication is possible. To my Content Team, Prantika, Siddhartha, and Tithi: thank you for being incredibly diligent with your work and showing up to team meetings even when I didn’t. All of your amazing puns and references had me howling at the moon. To my Graphics Team, Haley and Rebecca: thank you for the STUNNING visuals you’ve created – all the backgrounds, discipline/course icons, and hard hats have me spellbound. To XiaoChuan, our Photography Curator: thank you for the gorgeous collection of images you’ve gathered for the Handbook. Also, thank you to Jennifer, the VP Communications, for dutifully ediitng the entire Handbook and catching all of my many spelling mistakes 🛐🛐🛐

Dear readers, if you have questions about the Handbook or just want to email me for some reason, you can reach me at handbook@skule.ca. You can follow the Agenda Editor and I on Instagram @skule.handbook.agenda to know when the Skule™ Agenda is published and also to know how many stages of grief I experienced while assembling the Handbook.

An exciting four (or more) years is waiting for you! Take as much time as you need to find your footing, and remember that you’re never alone. We can’t wait to see you in September!
