We are recruiting executive team members!
We’re recruiting executive team members for 2025-2026! This is a chance to take on a leadership role, collaborate with peers, and make a real impact on mental health at U of T. Whether you enjoy planning events, writing and editing, or contributing fresh ideas, there’s a place for you.
As part of the Grad Minds executive team, you’ll join at least one subcommittee to help shape our initiatives, events, and publications. Subcommittees provide opportunities to focus on areas that match your interests and skills, while also collaborating across the team. Members typically start in 1–2 committees and can adjust throughout the year. Below are the descriptions for each subcommittee, along with their responsibilities.
Please apply only after you have a clear idea of your study, research, and other responsibilities for the school year, so you can effectively incorporate 1–3 hours per week of Grad Minds activities into your routine. Applications are open until September 30, 2025.
