This office believes in the power of collaboration and community – of bringing people together to solve problems and build a future better than the present.

We’re a team of strategists, communicators, planners, data analysts, and project managers who support the vice-president and principal’s leadership of UTM’s chief executive portfolio. 

We work alongside our students, colleagues, and partners to advance strategic framework priorities and realize U of T’s vision – as one of the world’s great catalysts of knowledge, innovation, and positive change.
