About UC Lit

The University College Literary and Athletic Society (UC Lit) is dedicated to fostering a vibrant, inclusive, and collegial community that enhances the student experience at University College. As elected representatives of the student body, each member of the Lit is committed to advocating for students’ interests and addressing their needs and concerns with integrity and transparency.

Our mission is grounded in the values of accessibility, equity, and transparency towards building mutual trust within the UC community. Throughout the academic year, we organize a diverse range of social, cultural, academic, and athletic events – including the UC Drag Show, Athletics Intramurals, Coffeehouse, and the Truth & Reconciliation Forum – to enrich campus life. Stay informed about upcoming programs and initiatives by following us on Instagram and other social media platforms.

UC Lit also administers graduation composite photos, manages a variety of student clubs, and provides valuable services, such as athletic gear rentals, merchandise sales, and booking facilities like the Junior Common Room for student events. Whether you are interested in starting or joining a club, participating in event planning, or connecting with our supportive community, we are here to help.

Truth and Reconciliation Open Forum

On December 2, 2021, the University College Literary & Athletic Society (UC Lit) held an Open Forum to discuss and reflect on UC’s reports and initiatives related to Truth & Reconciliation. We were joined by students, staff, faculty, and administrators from across disciplines, colleges, and faculties. This forum was facilitated by the UC Lit’s Equity Commission and moderated by Teagan de Laronde, a 5th year Indigenous Studies Specialist with minors in Political Science and Religion.

We have summarized broadly the main points discussed at the UC Truth & Reconciliation Open Forum. These points will inform the Equity Commission’s initiatives throughout the rest of the 2022 Winter Semester as well as in future years.
