The Circle @UOIT gets a makeover and launches new website

July 2013 marks the re-launch of The Circle@UOIT, a peer-reviewed journal for student scholarship, creative and academic projects, and the unveiling of its new enhanced website. This website was made possible by support from the UOIT Teaching and Learning Centre (TLC). Many thanks to Marj Rempel, TLC Director, and designers Shannon Everett, Leygh Allison and Nadia Morel for their help in making The Circle more accessible and beautiful.
