The purpose, objectives, mission and/or mandate of the organization is to provide self-identifying Black women at the University of Toronto a safe place to connect with each other. Connections strives to encourage, empower, represent, support, and advocate the interests of Black women while giving them the resources and opportunities to get involved and connect. Through social, academic and professional events, Connections strives to give Black women the opportunity to meet other like-minded women on campus to foster meaningful connections. It’s about giving Black women a community (a sisterhood) where they can grow together, learn together and most of all connect together!
