During this time of the pandemic, our students have all adapted to remote learning. It's not always been an easy transition. Many are missing the experience of in-person community that Wycliffe is known for. The Fall/Winter edition of Wycliffe's alumni magazine, Insight, features a story by senior student Amber Tremblett on what the pandemic has meant to her in that role. Amber writes, "When I accepted the nomination for the role of Senior Student for 2020-2021 I certainly did not see myself in the position I am in now. I made plans for the community I had come to know and love that were

Wycliffe classes - 21 this term - are back in session. And while our building remains closed due to the pandemic, faculty, staff, and students are all hard at work.

The Province of Ontario entered another state of emergency last week, and so we continue to offer all classes and programming online for the foreseeable future.

Please note the following important changes: The teaching semester will begin on 11 January 2021

Dear Members of the Wycliffe College Community, Today I received a letter addressed to me, members of staff and faculty, and the Board of Trustees of the College. It was signed by forty individuals who are either current students, former students, or who have (or had) a role as a member of our staff or adjunct faculty. The letter expresses a concern for those in our community who are vulnerable to sexual violence, abuse, and harassment, and the letter’s signatories believe that Wycliffe College has not been a place where victims and survivors can seek truth and healing. They call upon us to

Dear Wycliffe College Community, As we approach the middle of the Fall term, I want to give an update on how things are going at the College and on what we can expect for the next term. Let me begin by remarking on what an extraordinary beginning it has been to the academic year. We have all had to reframe our understanding of how to foster learning and build community in the context of our isolation. I realise that for staff, faculty, and students, this has presented formidable challenges. The new classroom-in-the-home environment is not always the most conducive to teaching or learning, and
