We want to engage with our alumni
At the Faculty of Information, we invite our alumni to contribute their time, talent and treasure to the university in whatever way works best for them. Attend an event, take advantage of one of our professional development opportunities, or become active in the Faculty of Information Alumni Association.
Alumni engaged with the Faculty of Information become part of and contribute to the most ambitious campaign in Canadian history. For the first time ever and as part of the Defy Gravity campaign, the University of Toronto has set a goal for alumni engagement. We are looking to inspire 2,500 members of our alumni community to get involved as volunteers, mentors, donors, participants and leaders.
The Faculty of Information is part of the University of Toronto’s Defy Gravity campaign, the most ambitious campaign in Canadian history.
