STuDENTPRECOUNCILIDENT’ GREETINg
When I first learned of the Michener Institute I was fascinated by the high-tech machines, awardwinning programs, and the allure of living in downtown Toronto. I never expected to find such a caring and understanding group of support staff and healthcare professionals that I am lucky to call my classmates, teachers, and colleagues.
We are committed to bringing students closer together through any and all platforms. We work closely with the Learning Resource Centre (LRC) and Student Success Network (SSN) to help make this mission possible. May your time at Michener not only help to shape you into the best possible healthcare professional but allow you to meet new people and develop new relationships within and outside of your program. One thing almost any upper year will recommend is to get involved! Whether you apply to be a student representative for Student Council, or you attend our events, the Student Council welcomes you to Michener.
