A climate organizer with a passion for building resilient communities and a medical student keen to harness AI for health equity have joined the ranks of University of Toronto students who have been awarded Rhodes Scholarships.

In a “big win for Canada,” the University of Toronto is further strengthening its academic ranks with three top researchers from U.S. universities whose work ranges from the search for new planets to the economics of powering our own. The acclaimed new faculty members are astrophysicist and U of T alum Sara Seager, innovation and energy economics scholar Jacquelyn Pless and economics expert Mark Duggan, who will head the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy.

With Blue Jays mania sweeping the city during the World Series, the historic core of the University of Toronto’s St. George campus has become a rallying point for fans, with a giant outdoor screen turning Front Campus into a buzzing hub of baseball, school spirit and civic pride. The tone was set from Game 1’s thrilling 11-4 victory over Major League Baseball’s Los Angeles Dodgers on Oct. 24.

Daniel Drucker’s path to a discovery that would transform millions of lives began not with a breakthrough – but a setback. He had just arrived at Harvard Medical School in 1984 for a research fellowship, intending to focus on thyroid disease – an area he became interested in as a University of Toronto medical student and, later, as a fellow and resident at Toronto General Hospital.

Beginning your studies at the University of Toronto can stir a mix of emotions, ranging from excitement and joy to uncertainty and homesickness. Whether you’re moving into residence, commuting across the city or navigating a new country, the transition to university life can be both exhilarating and overwhelming – all at the same time. But remember: it’s a path many have walked before. 

The University of Toronto is moving forward with a reimagined vision for the building planned for 90 Queen’s Park Crescent – one that reflects evolving space requirements in the post-pandemic academic landscape and ensures long-term financial sustainability. The building – set to become a major centre for scholarship on urban issues, a hub for community engagement and a key gateway to the St. George campus – will now rise six storeys instead of eight and will occupy approximately 60 per cent less space than originally envisioned.
