We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of
Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the
traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and most
recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Today, this
meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from
across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity
to work on this land.
![Page 2: We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University ... · Don’t Take Things Personally • What happens academically or professionally is often not personal • Taking this](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022011919/6016bcbdc4f05c521e426d5c/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
We understand access to be a
shared responsibility between
everyone in this space.
We will strive to create an
accessible space that reduces the
need for you to disclose a disability
or impairment for the purposes of
gaining an accommodation. In
doing this together, we strive to
welcome disability, and the
changes it brings, into our space.
• Is there anything about the
virtual space that we should
address now?
• Are there any other access
needs that might affect your
participation in the orientation
that we could also address?
Please reach out to Laura Brown
in the chat.

DON’Ts
Don’t Take Things Personally
• What happens academically or professionally is often not
personal
• Taking this personally leads to “drama” and stress

not you

DON’Ts
Don’t Give Up
• Don’t give up on yourself;
if you give up, you will
surely fail!
• Pick yourself up and try to
see things differently
• Quick starts vs. Late
bloomers – both good
“It ain’t over till it’s over.”
-- Yogi Berra
