Team

As a trainee-led initiative, SPRINT was founded by a group of graduate students in the Department of Psychology at the University of Toronto.

Today, the SPRINT Team is composed of undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctoral volunteers from across the three campuses (St. George, Mississauga, Scarborough), as well as other affiliated programs. The roles include executive members, graduate and post-doctoral volunteers, and undergraduate volunteers. The work of SPRINT is also supported by faculty, staff, and librarians at the University of Toronto, who dedicate their service to equity-advancing initiatives like ours.
