Giving Day helps students study the world 

Donations made for University of Toronto Mississauga’s “Giving Day” on Wednesday, Sept. 20 will make UTM Abroad possible for even more students.
UTM Abroad is a one- to two-week international learning experience that allows undergraduate students to engage in co-curricular and curricular study opportunities around the world that enrich their education and enhance their global fluency. More than half of UTM Abroad students are only able to participate with financial aid. Read more

As part of the Campus Master Plan 2021, a traffic impact study will continue until Wednesday, Sept. 20. Measurement and recording of traffic volumes, both vehicular and pedestrian, will take place along UTM campus roadways and pedestrian areas from 7:45-10:15 a.m. and 3:30-6:30 p.m.
As the study requires the van to drive slowly and make intermittent stops throughout the day, please be aware of a marked vehicle with its four-way flashers while travelling through UTM on these days.
For questions about this work, contact Afsaneh Tafazzol at, afsaneh.tafazzoli@utoronto.ca.
