Office of the Vice-Dean, Graduate

Welcome message from the Vice-Dean, Graduate

The University of Toronto Mississauga is a home to a wide range of graduate students, ranging from professional accountants, biologists, geographers, forensic scientists among others.  It is a place that graduate students are encouraged to engage in both knowledge sharing and knowledge creation.  It is my pleasure to work with the wonderful graduate students that are part of the campus and to help provide them with what they need to excel in terms of both innovation and engagement. The Office of the Vice Dean Graduate also works with students to help them take advantage of cultural and social opportunities both on and off campus.

The faculty and staff here at UTM compare with the best in the the world and, yet, the scale is such that graduate students are nurtured and encouraged on an individual basis. Joining the graduate departments based here allows students to embrace path-breaking research and critical classroom pedagogy as well as embark on a rich world of exploration and creativity. We are also in the midst of a continued renovation and enhancement of the physical space on the UTM campus and graduate students are a key element in the redesign of many of the new buildings going up on campus.

The door of the Vice Dean Graduate office (to be located in the renovated South Building offices as of January 2010) is open to both current and prospective graduate students. I hope to see you soon.

Prof. Amrita Daniere
Vice Dean, Graduate
