Launched in 2003, the Vic One program is an academic opportunity for first-year students at the University of Toronto to build communication and leadership skills in a small classroom setting.[1] Applications typically open in December for any student who is applying to the university for enrolment in the following September.[2] The Vic One program supplements a student's primary program of study in the form of weekly small group seminars and guest lectures from professors, visiting artists, writers, ambassadors and other public figures.[3] There are eight academic streams of Vic One, each focussing on a different discipline. Enrolment in each stream is limited to 25 students, with a maximum of 250 students in the program each year.[2]
