The Medium Canada

A new student-led peer-reviewed psychology journal has launched at the University of Toronto (U of T) Mississauga (UTM), giving students a platform to publish research and bridge the gap in undergraduate academic publishing. Wavelength, operated by the Psychology Association of Undergraduate Students at Erindale (PAUSE), will release its first issue online in late April, following a launch event on April 1 in the Student Centre, which showcased a preview of the journal.

Over the course of the 2025/2026 school year, the Eagles have etched their names into UTM history. It hasn’t always been a smooth sailing season, but student-athletes across campus have helped create a vibrant sporting atmosphere at UTM. From dishing out amazing passes to batting close to perfection, UTM has a sporting environment to be proud of. Here’s how The Eagles performed this season.

The world’s most-watched sporting event is fast approaching. In 73 days, the opening match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup will light up our screens with co-hosts Mexico taking on South Africa, a repeat of the 2010 opening game. The United States and our home Canada, are also hosting soccer/football’s landmark competition this summer.

When people are asked about their favourite stories, how often do they mention a game? Two decades ago, you wouldn’t find that many but nowadays there are numerous games that come up in conversation. Games in general have come a long way from their inception, from being a simple two dimensional table tennis simulation to full blown open worlds that feel lush and alive.

While waiting on the end of another waning winter, it’s easy to preemptively make plans for when the weather heats up. The end of April will bring sunnier skies, warmer winds, and tons of free time following exams, and every week after that will bring so much more daylight that it may be daunting to think about what to do with all of it. Fortunately, The Medium is here to bring a small, local list of suggestions to help students seize each summer day before fall rolls back around.

Running from March 26th to April 5th, The Play that Goes Wrong will be the last show given at Erindale Studio Theatre for the 2026 winter semester. First performed in 2012, The Play that Goes Wrong was written by Henry Shields, Henry Lewis, and Jonathan Sayer. It won the “Best New Comedy” award in 2015, and has been touring internationally, including being on Broadway for 2 years.

Spring is just out of reach, and exams are drawing closer. How do you keep the ghosts of lectures skipped at bay and focus on studying when the beach and video games and trips downtown are right around the corner? The answer, for many students, is music, which serves as a way to clear the mind, and adds some flavor to studying (sometimes it also serves as a distraction but that’s neither here nor there).

Associate Opinion Editor (Volume 50) — Yasmine is a third-year student, majoring in History and Anthropology. Her writing is best described as sometimes sarcastic, sometimes radical, and always an excuse to bring up her heritage (and colonialism). She hopes her work with The Medium will inspire conversations, debates, and a path to abandon our deeply rooted stubbornness. In her spare time, Yasmine enjoys reading, knitting, arguing with uncles on politics, and fangirling.

This year, DeerHacks at the University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM) has much to celebrate. Marking its fifth anniversary, the event drew 300 participants, rigorously selected from an application pool of 600 students across the country. They assembled and crafted not only innovative code but also solutions to real-world problems. Hackathons have become increasingly popular over the years, while DeerHacks remains one of Mississauga’s largest hackathons.

In an interview with The Medium, the University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM) Students’ Union (UTMSU) reflected on their journey as a team, expressed their appreciation for the UTM community and wholeheartedly encouraged students’ involvement.
