Congratulations to second-year MScOT student Giullia Peck on receiving a Student Leadership Award from the University of Toronto!
During her time in the program, Giullia has demonstrated her commitment to supporting U of T students and future students.
Giullia has volunteered with the UTSC Imani Black Academic Mentorship program, U of T's Summer Mentorship Program (Occupational Therapy Day), and MScOT application support (Temerty Community of Support). The impact of her work has improved recruitment and in-program support for students from equity deserving groups.
Giullia has taken on several leadership activities, including work on our Student Association and Student Affairs committee. This is a truly exceptional commitment in the context of a highly demanding professional master's program, where Giullia also excels academically.
“Having worked alongside Giullia on our student affairs committee, I would like to add what a pleasure Giullia is to work with,” says Christie Welch, Assistant Professor and Graduate Coordinator in the Department of Occupational Science & Occupational Therapy. “She takes on this work from a deep commitment to service and to promoting equity.”
Congratulations, Giullia, on this wonderful achievement!
