At U of T, students, faculty and staff study, work and live on its three campuses. With some of the most prestigious architecture and beautiful green space in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area, each one has its strengths.

Morgan, who is also a U of T alumna, got her first job at the school of graduate studies.
