Excitement is building across the University of Toronto’s three campuses as the university prepares to welcome students, faculty, staff and librarians to the start of fall term, U of T President Meric Gertler says. 

With more than 90,000 students from across Canada and around the world expected to fill the university’s classrooms, libraries, gyms, lecture halls and laboratories, “it’s a time when anything seems possible,” the president says in a new video message released today.

“There is so much to explore, so many challenges and opportunities here at the one of the world’s great universities in the most diverse and dynamic city-region on the planet,” President Gertler says. “Each of us has a place in this amazing academic community. We’re so glad that you’ve joined us and we’re looking forward to seeing what you will achieve.
