Ryerson's Digital Media Zone (DMZ) is an innovation incubator for turning ideas into reality. Located in the heart of the Ryerson campus overlooking Yonge-Dundas Square, the DMZ is open to every Ryerson student (graduate, undergraduate, full- and part-time), regardless of program or Faculty. All you need is a digitally-driven idea that is unique and has commercial or social value - and the plan to make it happen.

Once inside, you're surrounded by other like-minded students, alumni and successful entrepreneurs to collaborate with, and mentor you while you turn your innovation into a market-ready product or service. The DMZ provides you with the necessary overhead which includes open, flexible workspace, equipment, utilities; and services such as business plan counselling, mentoring, workshops, networking and industry showcasing to help you launch your business.

If you are a Ryerson student interested in issues affecting women on campus like violence in relationships, racism, sexism, eating disorders, lesbianism and bisexuality, the Women's Centre is the place to go to get involved and find support. The Centre is a women and women-identified space that is run by a group of volunteers with assistance from part-time student coordinators.

The Women's Centre sponsors education campaigns, provides referrals, shows films, holds discussion groups, and has an excellent resource library stocked with books, pamphlets, files, films, reference material, and newspaper clippings.
