SMC, can I get a Hoikety Choik on C? If you don’t recognize that line, it is a sign to get more involved with St. Michael’s College! But to help out those of you that are confused: that is the first line to one of Saint Michael’s most popular cheers: “The Hoikety Choik”!
St. Michael’s College sets the tone of excitement and entertainment for all other University of Toronto undergraduate colleges. It is not just a college; it is a welcoming community to all! One of the biggest goals of the St. Mike’s community is to continue to nurture an environment rich in diversity and inclusivity. As the tight knit community that it is, St. Mike’s strives to accommodate the wants and needs of every single student, which includes the enrichment of student life at UofT, hence its very large array of clubs, athletics, student societies, drop-in activities, and the list goes on! St. Mike’s offers countless activities, ranging from high energy athletics, like Budo-taijutsu and Praise & Worship Dancercise, to relaxing pastimes that require almost no energy at all, like acrylic paint nights and Dungeons & Dragons sessions. Partake in one, or partake in all, it’s your call!
One noteworthy event that must be highlighted is SMC Cheese, a weekly drop-in grilled cheese event hosted by yours truly. It is held every Thursday from 11am-1pm in the student lounge area in Brennan Hall. Drop in for some jaw-dropping and not to mention, completely free grilled cheese sandwich made fresh by SMC committee members! But this isn’t just any grilled cheese sandwich… it’s an SMC Cheese!
Not convinced? The University of St. Michael’s College hosts events such as pub nights, open mic nights, therapy dog sessions, and even academic lectures (if you feel like UofT hasn’t loaded your schedule up with enough lectures).
If you’re looking to get more involved in school, embrace a hidden talent, try something new, or pursue any other goal, come check out St. Mike’s! It is guaranteed that you’ll gain something from checking out the activities, whether that’s relaxation, getting your heartbeat up with some physical activities, or meeting new people. So come on out and embrace the full Saint Mike’s experience!
