You’re not a
number. You’re
a Gryphon.

Trying times connect people with their values,
and recently we’ve found ourselves coming back
to two values again and again: the value of our
health, and the value of education. These are at
the very core of our mission — to Improve Life.
This year, we’ve never felt more committed to them.
Come to Guelph and see firsthand how much your
health and education mean to us. Or better still,
find out how rewarding, inspiring, gratifying and
empowering it is to improve life for someone else.
That’s what being a Gryphon is all about.

DINING ON CAMPUS

The only campus
food in Canada that’s
picture-worthy!
For years, U of G’s Hospitality Services has been voted as having
the best campus food of any Canadian university, and the secret
to our success couldn’t be simpler: We make everything ourselves.
                                                                                       Double Trouble Burger   Banana, Strawberry, Nutella Waffle
From burgers and ramen, home-made comfort foods to gourmet
salads and international cuisine, we’ve got something to suit every
palate and dietary requirement (including allergies, faith-based,
vegan and vegetarian), all of it made fresh right here on campus.

We frequently share our latest creations on our social media
channels. Check out hospitality.uoguelph.ca to learn more and

EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING

Experiential Learning
and Career Development
When we say you’ll learn from experience, we mean it.

While we love a good book as much as the next world-class university,
we firmly believe that education and experience go hand in hand.

That's why our team at the Experiential Learning Hub is so passionate
about connecting you with co-op programs, further education planning,
volunteer and co-curricular opportunities, and access to job fairs and
networking events.

By leveraging the Experiential Learning Hub's many connections, you
will make your U of G experience more engaging while spending more
time focusing on things you're passionate about.

Plus, when you graduate you won't just have a degree: you'll have
a digital record showcasing the kind of experience that employers
love to see on a résumé.
