We are thankful to be welcome on these lands in friendship. The lands we are situated on are covered by the Williams Treaties and are the traditional territory of the Mississaugas, a branch of the greater Anishinaabeg Nation, including Algonquin, Ojibway, Odawa and Pottawatomi. These lands remain home to many Indigenous nations and peoples.

We acknowledge this land out of respect for the Indigenous nations who have cared for Turtle Island, also called North America, from before the arrival of settler peoples until this day. Most importantly, we acknowledge that the history of these lands has been tainted by poor treatment and a lack of friendship with the First Nations who call them home.

This history is something we are all affected by because we are all treaty people in Canada. We all have a shared history to reflect on, and each of us is affected by this history in different ways. Our past defines our present, but if we move forward as friends and allies, then it does not have to define our future.

Led by our Peer Success Facilitators and special guests, these groups are designed for students looking for supportive ways to stay accountable throughout the winter term while learning some useful study strategies in the process.

Benefits of joining a Stride study support group:

Access a space for sharing tips, concerns and resources.
Connect with students who are experiencing what you’re going through.
Discover tools and information to help cope with the demands of university life.
Learn foundational skills, such as time management, stress management, reading and note taking, studying and test-taking strategies to be successful in university.
Support one another and hold each other accountable to avoid procrastination and cramming.

Drop in to just one session and learn a specific study skill or attend them all! Frequent attendance will allow you to connect with other students and develop a toolkit of learning strategies needed to be successful in university. Student testimonial

These meetings are not workshops, they are conversations. Students will be expected to unmute themselves and participate in discussion. Screen sharing is optional, but please be prepared to interact.

Each session is organized around a particular theme and will involve a discussion and a collaborative activity. There will also be an opportunity for group members to check in to discuss their progress and to ask questions.

Feel free to register up to the last minute, if you would like to drop in for the session.

We look forward to seeing you at these groups!

If you attend five Stride Study Support Group sessions or Stride workshops, you can add the experience to your Student Experience Record as well as email studentlearning@ontariotechu.ca to receive a LinkedIn endorsement.
