On April 5, OCAD U will participate in CRAM – a new, free learning festival designed to promote the transformative thinking of Toronto’s universities (OCAD University, University of Toronto, Ryerson University and York University). The universities will open their doors to give curious minds a chance to discover the unexpected ideas revolutionizing the way we think, live and work. Featuring more than thirty free events, attendees will be free to move between the universities to explore the city’s creative and critical thinking across a multitude of disciplines.  

CRAM is the brainchild of journalist Mary Ito, who realized that most research generated within universities never makes it to the public. CRAM seeks to bridge the gap between this research and the public by inviting GTA residents to participate in an evening of unexpected ideas. Each event will be 25 minutes or less in length and participants are encouraged to travel between the schools, exploring topics of greatest interest to them. 

OCAD U speakers at the event include: 

  • Peter Coppin, Graduate Program Director, Assoc. Professor, Faculty of Design,  Graduate Studies 

  • Michele Mastroeni, Assistant Professor and Grad Program Director, Strategic Foresight and Innovation, Faculty of Design 

  • James Miller, Assistant Professor of Environmental Design 

  • Alexis Morris, Assistant Professor/Liberal Arts and Sciences and School of Interdisciplinary Studies 

  • Sowmya Somanath, Assistant Prof, Faculty of Design 

Faculty and staff interested in volunteering at the event, please contact Karen Kwon. For a complete schedule of events, please visit https://cramtoronto.com
