Woodsworth Commuter Connections Program
What is the Commuter Connections Program (CPP)?
The Commuter Connections Program (CCP) is designed to address the challenges that arise for commuter (off-campus) students in order to aid students in their efforts to achieve academic, social, and personal successes as university students. The Commuter Connections Program connects commuter/off-campus students to an upper-year Commuter Connections Leader as well as a community of fellow commuter students at Woodsworth College. Throughout the year, the Commuter Connections Leaders organize events and workshops such as trips to the ROM, study skills workshops, time-management workshops and cooking classes.
How Does it Work?
The Commuter Connections Program matches upper-year (second year and above) Commuter Connection Leaders with a group of 12-15 commuter (off-campus) students. Leaders are matched with students based on a variety of factors, including field of study and geography (e.g. city, closest subway station). The goal of the program is to introduce commuter students to upper-year students who act as a source of information and social support. The Commuter Connections Program is also an opportunity to meet and develop relationships with other off-campus students.
How Do I Sign Up?
