Director's Message

On behalf of the Master of Management of Innovation (MMI) program at the University of Toronto, I would like to personally thank you for considering our students for internship opportunities. At MMI, we believe that growth for businesses, organizations, and even nations cannot be sustained without being at the forefront of innovation and harnessing it properly. Over the last 15 years, we have created a program that graduates highly qualified young professionals who are ready to tackle today’s biggest business challenges and we know you will find great value in their contributions.  

We provide a dynamic learning environment which perfectly blends rigorous training and innovative thinking into intense course work that covers the latest development in marketing, finance, business strategy, technology management and innovation policy. MMI’s summer internship program prepares students to embark on their professional journey by applying the knowledge gained in the classroom to bring fresh and innovative perspectives to the management of your institution.

We are pleased to have seen such enthusiasm and support for our students and program and we are excited to partner with you!

In 2025, the MMI program created the Land Acknowledgment found below. It is a sign of our commitment to learning about Indigenous history, the process of colonization, and the ongoing presence and rights of Indigenous communities. Our program, students, staff and faculty stand in solidarity with Indigenous communities as allies in their struggles for justice, equity, and self-determination.

With a commitment to respectful relationship building and shared responsibility, we acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto Mississauga stands as the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca and the Mississaugas of the Credit.  This territory is covered by the Toronto Purchase, Treaty 13, signed with the Mississaugas of the Credit.

We are settlers on this land and have found safety, hope and community here. We acknowledge our privilege on this land as settlers and invite other settlers to also reflect on the past, present and future of all people of Turtle Island especially the Indigenous communities who continue to assert their presence, sovereignty, and knowledge systems despite colonial pressures.

We are responsible for how we walk together on this land for this generation and those to come. As members of the MMI community, we are committed to reflecting on how our work in innovation and management can support ethical relationship-building with Indigenous peoples and communities.

With humility and openness, we wish to look to Indigenous history, spirituality, culture and teachings as a guide to sharing this land and shaping its future together not just in words but through meaningful actions.
