It’s your first year at UTM and it all seems confusing. Here’s our first-ever guide to UTM’s resources for international students, compiled by Su Lyn Liew, our own copy editor imported directly from Malaysia.
There’s an app for that
Many laughed when the iPhone was first released. No keypad? Apples gone mad, they said.
The cool factor
Somewhere in the world a boy will ogle at a pair of Adidas sneakers, a grown man at an iPhone, a girl at an Armani dress, and they will all wish they had it.
Best of the nation
As we enter a new decade, The Medium Sports Editor Andrew Tysiak takes a look back and recaps the top 5 Canadian athletes of the 2000s.
Confessions of a Stanley Cup champ
Bruce Driver is one of the lucky few who realized his dream of making it into the NHL. We asked him about it.
Things you need to have. Right this second.
Medium Magazine breaks it down, item by item, exactly what you need to have to get through your daily grind.
And you’re all set
You’ve somehow established the flimsy pretense of “watching a movie.” Don’t blow it by throwing on Schindler’s List. Now, it’s important to differentiate between a “make-out movie” and a “date movie.” “Date movies” are meant to be engaging, at least for one party.
This magazine probably comes as a surprise to most of you.
As far as I know, The Medium never had one before, although other university papers do. Nor has there been a demand for it—try as I may, I can’t hear students clamouring for a Medium Magazine outside of this office.
So why did we do it? Why now?
About The Magazine
What do you like?
We must have asked over one hundred people that very question, and this magazine is the answer.
Newspapers can be limiting. You are obligated to write a certain way, to only cover certain things, and everything must follow a specific grid. Sometimes this can help foster creativity, being forced to work within parameters. But after 36 years of publishing, we feel that it’s time to step outside of the box.
Producing a magazine was a no-brainer. We were free to write how we felt and to present it in a more accessible way.
This magazine was composed with you in mind. That’s right. We went through a ton of ideas, picking out the good, trying to cater to everyone’s preferences and make it as approachable as possible. Hence this brand new website.
We suggest you take a look around. You might find something unexpected.
