Re: Announcing the Appointment of the 2023 University Professors (PDAD&C #40)  


I am pleased to announce that the Academic Board of Governing Council has approved the appointment of three University Professors for 2023. The University of Toronto owes much of its reputation for excellence to its world-class professors, and I am delighted to have the opportunity to formally acknowledge the outstanding achievements of some of our finest faculty members. The title “University Professor” is the University’s highest and most distinguished academic rank.   

The newest members of this exceptional group as of July 1, 2023, are the following: 

University Professor Daniel Drucker

I would like to thank the members of the Selection Committee for their work in reviewing the candidate packages, as well as all the nominators who prepared dossiers for submission. I would also like to thank the University of Toronto Libraries for ongoing support of this process.
