Temerty Medicine celebrated National Volunteer Week featuring Chuck Chen!

The University of Toronto’s Temerty Faculty of Medicine is celebrating its generous and impactful volunteer community in conjunction with National Volunteer Week 2025.

National Volunteer Week 2025 runs from April 27th to May 3rd. It offers organizations the opportunity to honour their volunteers’ dedication and hard work and to highlight the difference they are making to their communities. This year’s theme is Volunteers Make Waves, reflecting the power, impact and importance of volunteer efforts across Canada. Every service contribution, big or small, creates momentum and has the power to influence and inspire.

Chuck T. Chen (PhD ’14), Founding member and president, Nutritional Sciences Alumni Association featured as a volunteer has made waves in our community through Mentorship and Alumni Engagement. He shared, “My best experiences at U of T as a student were the interactions with our alumni and the connections I fostered during that time. Now that I am part of that alumni community, it is amazing to be able to share my experiences with the next generation.”
