Philosophy Course Union

The Philosophy Course Union (PCU) is a student-run organization, elected by students, that serves to ensure the best possible undergraduate philosophy education experience. The PCU co-ordinates essay workshops, social functions, academic seminars, and information sessions regarding grad school and career options. The PCU takes an active part in the departmental decision-making process and participates in many faculty meetings. We strive to enhance your undergraduate experience through social and academic events that are free to all students—regardless of program. At these events, you can expect to have fun, eat free food, become intellectually enriched, and be part of the philosophy community at the University of Toronto. Furthermore, our events are of interest to anyone looking to advance their philosophical career, for we provide self-help seminars and several opportunities to connect with faculty in extra-curricular contexts. We get handsome funding for these events from the Arts and Science Student Union as well as the Department of Philosophy, so prepare to be very impressed, especially by our food offerings. Swing by our lounge, located in room 416 of the Jackman Humanities Building, to help yourself to anything in our snack cabinet or to peruse our collection of philosophical books, past editions of Noesis, and the ever-refreshing pile of some upper-year students’ favourite philosophy papers.
