Faculty in Residence (FIR)

The new Faculty in Residence (FIR) program here at the University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM) uses a unique model that supports our students living in residence. Our goal is to bring in professors from a variety of disciplines and have them involved in out of the class programming with a career and academic focus. Whether it is simply having breakfast with your professor in residence or heading downtown to the Art Gallery or Museum, we hope that these interactions will be fun, informative and make your experience while in residence a memorable one!
