Welcome to UTM
Welcome to the University of Toronto Mississauga: I am thrilled to join you in this special place.
My family and I live on campus; and we love walking on UTM’s nature trail. It runs alongside the Missinnihe: the trusting creek. French and British settlers named this river the Credit because, at its shore, they traded goods on credit with Indigenous peoples, who have cared for these lands for thousands of years.
This history of connection and trust shapes our campus’s mission today, which values reciprocity in all relations and works to live up to the responsibilities entrusted to us.
At UTM we strive to practice creative approaches to teaching and to do research that has a positive impact on the world; to run our campus sustainably and inclusively; and to connect with one another with honesty and generosity. We do it to fulfill the trust our students—you!—have placed in us and honour the better future that you’ll help create.
Your next step toward that future involves what Michelle Obama once called a year of firsts. You’ll listen to your first university lecture in Deerfield Hall; or make your first discoveries in UTM’s labs and innovation hubs; or study for your first exam in our Library.
You might attend your first university club at the UTM’s Student Centre, and share stories with your first UTM friends in Residence. You will meet your first professors, go to tutorials with your first teaching assistants, and learn alongside your first university classmates.
I feel lucky to be a part of your year of firsts and proud to work with colleagues at UTM who are committed to helping you flourish. It’s our privilege to do it, because that better future—safer, smarter, more equitable—depends on you.
Welcome: I look forward to seeing you on campus!
