Welcome to U of T Mississauga
Alexandra Gillespie
Vice-President & Principal, UTM
Welcome from the vice-president and principal
20 years ago, I came to UTM for the first time, knowing almost nobody on a campus far from home. I was nervous – until I got here. Here, I found a community that welcomed me with kindness and gave me a lift that changed my life.
The same thing has happened for so many of our students, staff, librarians, faculty, and alumni. From every neighborhood across Peel, every province across Canada, and 135 countries globally, we come together to learn, teach, and create knowledge that lifts our communities and moves our world.
Together, we’re driving life science innovation, advancing a climate positive future, and strengthening our economy with Canada’s most employable graduates. We’re fostering truth and reconciliation, creating new stories and arts, and leading the next 100 years of diabetes care.
It’s my privilege to welcome you here as UTM welcomed me. To learn more about our priorities and values, explore our strategic framework.
