Re: Announcing the Appointment of the 2025 University Professors (PDAD&C #42)  

I am pleased to announce that the Academic Board of Governing Council has approved the appointment of three University Professors for 2025. 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, 2025, is: 

Sheena Josselyn

Thank you to the members of the Selection Committee for their excellent work in reviewing the candidate packages, and the nominators who prepared dossiers for submission. I also appreciate the University of Toronto Libraries for their research in service of this award.
