Thank you for visiting the Office of the Dean of Students' website! We administer the non-academic aspects of student life at Woodsworth College. We provide support to student groups on campus, run the Woodsworth College Residence, are the liaisons between students and the college administration. We also run programs and services to help students make the most of their time at university, and offer a variety of academic and professional development sessions in collaboration with various offices at Woodsworth College and the University of Toronto. Browse our website to find out more about these initiatives!

We would like to acknowledge this sacred land on which the University of Toronto operates. It has been a site of human activity for 15,000 years. This land is the territory of the Huron-Wendat and Petun First Nations, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River.The territory was the subject of the Dish with One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between the Iroquois Confederacy and Confederacy of the Ojibwe and allied nations to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes. Today, the meeting place of Toronto is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work in the community, on this territory.
