Kinda chic to be a Gryphon. ❤️🖤💛

From the University of Guelph to Stanford University.

For Peter Kim, what began as a passion for science developed into a commitment to research that advances societal well-being.

Peter spent years building his research experience at the University of Guelph starting as a Biomedical Toxicology student and then Chemistry graduate student, investigating molecular tools that could one day contribute to more accessible treatments for complex diseases.

Along the way, he found mentors who challenged him, developed the skills needed to tackle difficult scientific questions, and became part of a research community that made the many hours in the lab worthwhile.

University of Guelph, Office of Graduate Studies

Over the past four weeks, welcomed 65 high school students from across Canada to campus for learning, discovery and connection through Shad Guelph.

Students explored STEAM and entrepreneurship through hands-on workshops, design challenges, lectures and industry connections, learning from subject matter experts across U of G’s diverse disciplines. Through tours and activities across campus, students explored subjects including mechatronics engineering and mathematics, while getting to experience spaces such as chemistry labs and the campus radio station's studio. Along the way, they challenged themselves, developed new skills and discovered new possibilities for their future.

By welcoming Shad students to campus, U of G is giving the next generation opportunities to learn from experts, explore new ideas and experience university life.

Happy ! Celebrated annually on the first Saturday of August, this is a day to celebrate Canadian food and everyone who plays a role across the food system.

Founded by ’s food laureate, the late Anita Stewart, Food Day Canada aims to promote Canada’s food culture and cuisine, and encourages Canadians to eat Canadian-grown food – whether it’s cooking a meal at home with family and friends, dining out at a restaurant or partaking in a community barbecue.

U of G’s history is deeply rooted in agri-food, from our research and innovation to training the next generation of food leaders in all aspects of agriculture, from technology, food policy, business leadership, entrepreneurship, nutrition and more, to build a more resilient Canadian food ecosystem.
