Catalyst Community
What is the Catalyst Community?
Our Community pages showcase a variety of resources such as publications, podcasts, blogs and videos from our Catalyst members.
We are working with the FCAD schools and community members to best determine how to support our graduate students, faculty and researchers. Our goal is to build an online community that is connected and supportive, just as The Catalyst has always been.
During the COVID-19 closure
The Catalyst is developing online content. If you have any ideas for online events, talks or SRC initiatives - we can help! Please feel free to email Natalie Ramtahal at nramtaha@ryerson.ca
