The University of Toronto Student Chapter of the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (UT-EERI) is dedicated to advancing earthquake engineering and nurturing a cohesive community spanning undergraduates, graduates, professors, industry experts, and the broader public. Our mission involves cultivating deep engagement in seismic engineering through diverse Chapter activities. UT-EERI graduate members play a pivotal role by hosting academic and industrial guest lectures, mentoring the Undergraduate Seismic Design Competition (SDC) team, actively participating in the EERI community through volunteering, and advocating for enhanced comprehension of earthquakes’ impact on physical, social, economic, and political environments.
