Four writers: Camilla Gibb (UC ‘92), Tim Long (UC ‘92), David Cronenberg (UC ‘67) and Hart Pomerantz (UC ‘62). Each can cite a significant moment that happened at University College that changed his or her future. Each recalls where it happened, whether in the Quad, or the Junior Common Room, Whitney Hall or the classroom. But it was not the physical environment at UC that was the catalyst. Says Camilla Gibb: “My time at UC was about the people I met, the friendships that came out of being there.”

Hart Pomerantz went on to work as a panellist on the light-humoured quiz show This is the Law. The show was a hit, lasting six years. When it ended, Pomerantz was at a crossroads. He could continue his comedy work, or return to practicing law. With a young family and a love of law, he chose the latter, beginning what turned out to be a successful legal career spanning over 30 years. Pomerantz has never left the comedic life behind, still taking on comedy work now and then. “I like the sound of laughs. Some people like food or drugs, I like laughter.
