In a holiday message to the U of T community, President Melanie Woodin thanks faculty, librarians, staff, students and alumni for their encouragement during her first year as the university’s 17th president.
She remarks that it has been a privilege to engage with the community about the university’s future.
“U of T is a place where we can think freely about what it means to be human, what it means to live in society, and about the wonders that nature has to reveal.
