The context:


New College is a large undergraduate college at the University of Toronto, with a strong focus on social justice and community engagement.

Home to a culturally and linguistically diverse student body, New College also houses the highest percentage of international students of any U of T college.

Our innovative, interdisciplinary academic programs—African Studies, Critical Solidarity and Equity Studies, and Buddhist Psychology and Mental Health—seek to promote social responsibility, diversity, critical equity and global awareness.


The New College Writing Centre offers skilled, sensitive and supportive writing instruction designed to enable students to realize their full potential as learners and contributors to knowledge production—in their fields of study, in the wider community and in professional life.

Our approach to writing instruction emphasizes writing as a complex ability that is continuously learned and relearned in relation to changing contexts and purposes.

We value the linguistic diversity that students bring to their writing.


The New College Writing Centre works with students enrolled in our academic programs in addition to students registered at New College who are taking Arts & Science courses more broadly.

We encourage applicants who are reflective about the role of faculty in welcoming and mentoring a diverse range of students.
