**ABOUT US**:
In 1976, The Palin Foundation was incorporated with a mission to create a space for students on the former Ryerson Polytechnic campus that was fully student governed.

Following the change in institutional name, we’ve updated the name of our building and many of the services we offer here.

The Palin Foundation administers the newly renamed Toronto Metropolitan Student Centre (TMU-SC) along with Oakham House. TMU-SC is home to student unions, affiliated campus groups, The Eyeopener newspaper, Met Radio and the Good Food Centre.
