The composition of the Advisory Committee, as per the Policy will include:

  • The Vice-President & Principal, UTSC (Chair)
  • At least three Chairs from the division
  • Five to eight persons, drawn from teaching staff, students and administrative staff of the division, teaching staff from outside the division and members of the wider community including alumni, each group not necessarily being represented.

The Advisory Committee will begin meeting in the coming months. Nominations for the Advisory Committee should be submitted to the Office of the Vice-President & Principal, UTSC, by Wednesday October 23, 2024, via the online form.
