2007 - the Faculty of Arts & Science - University of Toronto

SCHOOL OF PUBLIC POLICY
In response to a rapidly changing policy field, U of T launched the School
for Public Policy and Governance and welcomed the first class of master’s
students in September 2006. The School’s mandate is to educate students to
make a difference in the public, private and community sectors by shaping
dynamic and innovative public policy at the local, regional and international
levels. Located at the doorstep to Queen’s Park and drawing on U of T expertise
across a wide range of disciplines, the School is uniquely positioned to offer
students a competitive edge. The first class includes (l to r) Samantha Young,
David Lee, Candice Camilleri, Shannon Wells and Jacqueline Greenblatt.

PREPARING GENERATION NEXT
GRADUATE EDUCATION
$65
million in financial support was
provided to graduate students
in Arts & Science
Graduate students are en route to become leaders in our innovation-based
economy. Their graduate education covers the full range of scholarly life,
reflecting both the teaching and research mission of the University of Toronto.
Graduate students do independent research and are valued members of
our research teams, often forming close mentorship relationships with faculty
members in the process. They also develop their own teaching skills by playing
a key role in delivering the undergraduate curriculum. With the Province
of Ontario providing funding to significantly increase the number of spots
available for graduate students in Ontario universities, the Faculty of Arts &
Science will increase its graduate enrolment by 40 per cent by 2010.
