"I’ve taken great courses at UTM. One of the most memorable ones for me was a Colonial Art History course. My professor for that class was helpful, and she was nice, and she created such a safe environment for us for open discussions throughout the entire time that we were in her class."
- Melissa, 4th year, Visual Studies
