Re: Now Available – 2022-23 PDAD&C Meeting Dates and Information (PDAD&C #1)

Please save this memo for future reference and share with your administrative staff responsible for scheduling.

Welcome to all new and returning Principals, Deans, Academic Directors, and Chairs. As you may be aware, all Academic Administrators who have been appointed under the Policy on Appointment of Academic Administrators are members of a standing committee called Principals, Deans, Academic Directors, and Chairs (PDAD&C).

For the 2022-23 academic year, PDAD&C meetings will occur on the dates below from 10:10am to 12:00pm in person, convening at Simcoe Hall, with remote videoconferencing available at UTSC and UTM. We will keep you updated on any changes that may occur in line with public health guidelines.

The agendas will be sent directly to all PDAD&C members the Tuesday prior to each meeting. Administrative staff in need of the agenda must contact you as their PDAD&C member to obtain a copy of the agenda. Please mark these dates in your calendar. Due to the size of the meeting, there will be no calendar invite.

Please note that only PDAD&C members and designated senior administrators are permitted to attend these meetings. PDAD&C members may request for permission to assign a designate to attend a particular meeting on their behalf by emailing provost@utoronto.ca at least one week prior to the meeting.

*This meeting will be followed by a lunch reception at the Faculty Club.

As PDAD&C members, you will automatically receive the Provost’s Digest each Friday, which is a weekly summary of all new memos posted on the Communications for Academic Administrators Website. Assistants to PDAD&C members, as well as other administrative staff, faculty, and librarians are welcome to request subscription by submitting the online form.

All content in the Provost’s Weekly Digest is public information and PDAD&C members play an important role in ensuring that this information reaches the relevant groups in their respective units. We appreciate you working with us to improve communication and information sharing with faculty, staff, and students by keeping up to date on PDAD&C memos and distributing them as appropriate.
