Educator

The education offered at the University of Toronto is distinguished by the tremendous opportunities available students to study and work with some of the world’s most eminent scholars in a wide range of fields. When it comes to studies related to energy and the environment, as in other fields, our history indicates that our students are eager to take advantage of this opportunity, and there is strong interest in these issues among our student body as a whole.

We see this interest in the pioneering advocacy of the students whose work led to the founding of Pollution Probe in 1971, and in the many students active today in the U of T Environmental Resource Network and in sustainability initiatives across our campuses. U of T students use their education – in and out of the classroom – to make a positive difference in the world. As alumni, they go on to contribute on local, national, and global stages. As a result, the University’s role as ‘educator’ extends beyond our campuses and into the spheres of civil society, industry, and public-policy making.

This page links to a collection of stories and initiatives reflecting the University’s role as an educator in the fields of sustainability, the environment, and climate change . If you have a story or idea you would like to see highlighted here, please contact us at email.utoronto.ca
