Autumn 2018 Quarterly
Meet the students, members, staff and visitors who form our community.
Around the House
Mike Auksi
"My godmother used to always tell me about this wonderful place called Hart House. Even when I struggled in school, she used to always instill in me, ‘Oh Michael, don’t you worry too much. One day you’ll be in university and having the time of your life.’" 
Kate Welsh
"I ended up writing my master’s thesis about my work at Hart House. [It] was about crafting as a tool of social justice and how crafting provides space for playfulness... crafting creates a space where people can practice failing in a safe way and actually failing is part of the process."
Valary Chrisman
"A lot of our guests enjoy knowing that hosting their event here helps contribute to the student experience. Hart House really makes an impact on people. Many of our guests come here because they have a direct connection to U of T and coming to Hart House makes them feel like they’re coming back home."
A Student Story
Tony Luong
“[Podcasting] was about collecting stories from students of different backgrounds and talking about a lot of different topics. Some were uplifting and happy moments, but it was also a chance for us to have some really difficult conversations.”
An Alumni Story
Bill Dowkes
“If you want to get involved, Hart House is the place to come. [My life] wouldn’t have been nearly as interesting. I wouldn’t have been socially involved. Hart House opened the whole university to me.”
A Word from the Warden
Hart House For You
Hart House has undergone a complete re-branding exercise with SOS Design Inc. The new look captures the essence, the purpose and the "delight in discovery" that Hart House promises.
