Maddie is a second year undergraduate majoring in History and minoring in Political Science and Human Geography. She is proudly from the best/West province in Canada (Victoria, British Columbia).

Louis is in his second year studying Philosophy, English, Writing & Rhetoric, and History. Born and raised in the GTA, he values living in a city with so many fine comic book stores enough to warrant commuting to school for an hour each way. When he’s not blogging or junior editing, Louis works with Peace by PEACE, The Underwear Club, and The Mike, and still finds time to watch way too much television and not nearly enough theatre.

River is a first year Life Sciences student who is dreading the day when he has to choose between his love for both physiology and biochemistry. In his free time, he likes to photograph things, read other things, ingest caffeine, “wwebsite as on the internet,” mourn the cancellation of Arrested Development and Firefly, and reminisce about the good old Romantic era when Chopin and Mendelssohn somehow were even more cool then they already are.

 

PAST EDITORS
BlogUT will forever be indebted to the hard work of our past editors! We would not be where we are today without the unbelievable hard work and ongoing effort they have put into blogUT. Thank you!

Ally joined blogUT as a Junior Editor in 2010 before becoming a Co-Editor the following year.  After completing her undergraduate degree in English and Film Studies, she now works at Warner Bros. Canada in Toronto. A movie buff and blogger, she enjoys watching films and Friends reruns on t.v., reading books, blogging, editing short videos, and taking pictures.  Currently, she is addicted to Twitter, Pinterest, and StumbleUpon.

Lori started out as a writer in 2007 and was a Co-Editor from 2008 to 2011. She wrote about everything from Makeout Spots (https://blogut.ca/?p=1327) to movie reviews. In 2012, she completed her undergrad with a degree in Math and Computer Science. Lori is currently a developer at a green energy company in California.

 

 

Justine Abigail Yu’s journey with blogUT started slowly…first as an avid reader, then a timid writer, and then finally as Co-Editor from 2009 to 2011.  Editing blogUT’s amazing blog posts and tweeting with other U of T students who were also cramming has really helped her keep her sanity and humour. Now she’s off doing other social media things with various businesses and non-profit organizations while squeezing in a trip to some foreign land here and there. Follow her at @justineabigail.

She continues to write film, theatre, and jazz reviews for the Stanford Daily, which can be found here.

FOUNDER
blogUT was founded in 2007 after feeling like something was lacking in his student experience: big school, tons of things going on.

JP did his undergrad at U of T in Engineering Science and then a Master’s in Electrical Engineering. He started blogUT in 2007 after he felt very disconnected from it all the things going on at UofT. His hope is that blogUT will serve as a link to U of T student life, highlighting the interesting things on campus and helping people have more fun. Find him on Twitter.
