In the 2023-2024 academic year, 20 EngSci students have been part of 11 Varsity Blues athletics teams—from badminton to tennis. Balancing their demanding academic workload with their training and competition schedules creates unique challenges.
Enter Blues Engineering, a student-run grassroots support network that enhances the experience of U of T Engineering student-athletes. Carter Buck (Year 2 EngSci, pictured above) is a Varsity swimmer and part of the leadership of Blues Engineering. The group aims to support Varsity Blues athletes enrolled in U of T Engineering undergraduate programs with peer tutoring, study sessions, time management, and community.
