The enthusiastic voices of A&S students and their supporters filled the Schwartz Reisman Innovation Campus on March 10 during the Arts & Science Brighter Futures exhibition. The event is a new celebration of donors and volunteers who champion the faculty and a showcase of the incredible talent and ingenuity of students who benefit from their support.
More than 100 guests explored 14 exhibits and interacted with nearly two dozen students eager to share their research. Guests were invited to operate an AI-powered robot designed to accelerate the discovery of lifesaving drugs and pluck microplastics from a petri dish to reveal new evidence about aquatic plastic pollution.
“Mentors I met through U of T helped me translate the classwork into real-life applications, setting me up for success after graduation,” says Lihi Gal-Ezer, an international student from Costa Rica. She says receiving an Arts & Science scholarship made university accessible — not just an aspiration.
