The annual J. P. Farrell CIDE Student Research Symposium, Feb. 20, 2026, 10am-4:15pm.

Gallop into the new year with your OISE community! Meet Chinese startup leaders and entrepreneurs who are making a difference then engage in fun cultural activities. Including pretend dumpling-making, Chinese calligraphy, cultural quizzes, Chinese paper cutting, and more! Families welcome. RSVP, space is limited.

Awaken and realign the body and mind with a grounding meditation, nourishing breath practice, and supportive movement. Ease any stress or strain, maintain energy, enhance wellbeing, and perhaps feel a sense of wholeness.

Take a break and meet us on the dance floor! Join our very own CAO, Helen Huang, as she leads participants through some simple, easy-to-follow line dance moves. During this half hour break, take some time to socialize with your colleagues and release some energy through some movement and guaranteed laughter.

Join us every Wednesday from 11:30am–12:00pm for The Midweek Reset, part of OISE’s Wellness Half Hour. Each week offers something different; whether it’s light exercise, drawing, mindfulness, games, or even a walk outside. Think of it as a midweek pause to recharge, reset, and connect with others in our community.

We also welcome guest hosts! If you’d like to lead a session or suggest a wellness activity, reach out to oisecao@utoronto.ca.

Wednesdays, OISE Wellness invites staff, faculty and students to awaken the body and mind with meditation, breath practice, and movement. Ease strain, maintain energy, and enhance your wellbeing. Register your sessions!

Help recognize OISE's excellent staff and administrators for their many contributions to the Institute and its mission. Nominations for the staff awards are currently open! Make your nomination by February 15.
