Hart House
U of T’s centre for arts & culture, recreation & wellness and debate & dialogue. Located on the U of T St. George Campus.
Our final feature is Pascale, Manager, Event Services at Hart House.
Pascale first discovered Hart House as a student, coming weekly to use the fitness centre, grab food at the café and spend time in the library.
Today, she works behind the scenes with colleagues, students, and the broader community to bring spaces to life and create experiences people can be part of.
For Pascale, it’s a place where people come together — whether to connect, try something new or simply spend time on campus.
A space shaped by the people in it.
We hope you’ve enjoyed our 2025–26 series. Stay tuned for what’s coming this fall.

Our next feature is Angel, an undergraduate student studying Visual Studies at The John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design
Angel describes Hart House as a space where she can learn, create and connect—attending and hosting events, working out and spending time with friends and colleagues. She curated the Talking Walls exhibition, United Goals: Empowering Climate Justice and Indigenous Ways of Knowing, in collaboration with Indigenous Climate Action, bringing together art, storytelling and community.
For Angel, Hart House is a place to feel supported, inspired and connected beyond the classroom.
Our next feature is Van Gonzales, a recent U of T alum.
Van first got involved as the Integrated Arts Education Intern, developing the Art Cohort program to introduce students to Toronto’s contemporary art spaces. He later facilitated the program as a work-study student and supported programming with the Art Museum and Integrated Arts Education team — and even as a graduate, Van continues to take part in Hart House events.
For Van, Hart House is a place where students can feel seen and supported — somewhere to pause, share ideas and build real connections beyond the classroom.
