Help Steer UofT’s Future: Three Alumni Needed for Governing Council - Starting July 1, 2026

Three alumni members of Governing Council will be elected by the College of Electors on February 24, 2026.

Are you an alumni member committed to the mission of Canada’s leading institution of learning, discovery, and knowledge creation? Are you looking for a way to make a significant volunteer contribution to the University of Toronto?

If so, consider applying for one of three (3) alumni governor seats on the Governing Council, the senior body that oversees the University’s academic, business, and student affairs.

The College of Electors is seeking candidates who are inspired to enrich the University with special perspectives, experiences, and connections; who will actively participate in the governance of the University; and who will reflect the diversity of the University’s alumni.

Each seat is for a three-year term beginning July 1, 2026 and ending June 30, 2029.  The three incumbent Alumni Governors are eligible to seek re-election.

Collectively and individually, governors are stewards of the University who:

• support and advance its mission;
• provide relevant input into its vision; and
• advise on, oversee, and approve a range of University matters, within the framework of delegated authority.
