Luke Calabretta, a third-year Civil Engineering student, has been elected to serve on Governing Council at U of T for the 2024-2025 period. He is one of the two full-time undergraduate students from professional faculties, as part of the total of eight students elected. Calabretta received 147 votes to secure his position.

“I’m honoured to have earned the trust of my constituents,” expresses Calabretta . “I decided to run because I wanted to improve the quality of the student experience at the University of Toronto. I look forward to contributing towards solutions that make life easier for all students – in particular those related to affordability.”

For past experience, and ability to draw on his chosen field, Calabretta relays, “Within the CivMin community, I have previously been involved in Civ Club, Troitsky Bridge Design Team as well as founding my own club related to energy. Civil engineering is a broad field, we have a unique ability to see the big picture – I look forward to bringing this perspective to the Governing Council.”
