**LINE COOK**
**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. Fast forward to 2007 and that was realized in the building of the new Student Campus Centre adjoining the historic Oakham House at the corner of Gould and Church Streets in downtown Toronto. 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. Inside Oakham House you’ll find the Office of the Ombudsperson, Oakham Café, The Met Campus Pub and a host of rentable venue spaces.
