Howdy UTOC,

The folks at the Toronto Undergraduate Geography Society (TUGS) have kindly offered their lounge ( SS608A, basement of Sid Smith Hall) as a spot for UTOC to hold office hours! Thanks TUGS!

Starting next week (Monday, September 23, 2013), we’ll be hosting office hours weekly on MONDAYS FROM 3-5PM AT SS608A. Stop by to ask questions, submit membership forms and fees, or just hang out! Please, DO NOT SLIDE MONEY/FORMS UNDER THE DOOR, as this space is not strictly used by UTOC.

The new membership form for 2013-2014 can be found at:

If you would like to pay in person, we will have office hours (soon to be announced) and also a Fall General meeting at BA1180 on September 13th, 6:30pm where you can learn more about the club. We’re going to Dufferin Park for a bonfire after, so don’t miss out.

TL;DR – We’ll have a fun time, join us.

The new UTOC Execs for 2012-2013 are as follows:

Thank you to the previous executives for their great work!

UTOC is a big club to run. In the next few months, there is a high chance we will be looking for more people to fill coordinator positions, so keep posted!

Hi UTOC,

Thursday, March 29, 7:00 pm, at a location TBD, will be UTOC’s annual executive council election. The election will be followed by a pub night at Toby’s on College, beginning around 9:00.

Joining the executive is a good opportunity to make a difference in how the club is run. The following executive positions will be available:

President - chairs exec meetings, sets the Club’s agenda and direction for the year
Vice President - responsible for administrative duties shared with the president
Treasurer - responsible for the Club’s finances
Secretary - takes meeting minutes and distributes them to exec members
Activities Officer - co-ordinates with members to help organize activities
Membership Officer - maintains the member lists
Pubs (Publicity, Publications and Pub Nights) Officer - prepares publications (such as this email) and organizes the pub nights
Webmaster - maintains the website
…and various co-ordinator positions (e.g., cycling, hiking, canoeing, etc.)

Many of the exec members are moving on from school to other challenges, and the club needs new members to step up and take charge. Without you, there can be no UTOC.

We will also have an informal exec meeting and a few drinks at Einstein’s on Thursday March 22 at 8:00 pm; if you’re interested in running for a position on the executive (which will look GREAT on your resume), you’re encouraged to come and find out more about the club’s inner workings.

If you have any questions, please get in touch.

We are now accepting online membership again. We apologize for the glitches for the last semester due to software upgrades. It is now fixed and functional. Don’t forget that you need to fill out the form AND send in a paypal payment in order to join.

Our office hours for the Winter 2012 Semester is Monday 3 – 6 PM and Thursday 3 – 5 PM.
