Other Information:

PARTNERS HIPS AND COLLA BORAT IONS Ryerson’s mission commits it to engagement with the world that surrounds it—locally, nationally, internationally. Partnerships have a key role to play in building a strong Ryerson reputation, utilizing and showcasing the University’s strengths and the expertise and knowledge of its faculty, staff, and students. The provision of experiential learning opportunities is a Ryerson hallmark, and one of the areas of greatest partnership strength at present. As post-secondary education itself becomes more global, and as government funding models in Ontario and Canada continue to encourage institutions to make meaningful partnerships in areas of research in particular, partnerships will become substantially more consequential to the success of institutions than ever before. Ryerson enjoys many important partnerships now, and it will be a priority over the next five years to boost the significant opportunities that partnership brings. The Provost and VPRI will help to facilitate institutional partnerships that touch both academic programs and the University’s research priorities, such as the exploratory partnership with St Michael’s Hospital that has begun. Partnerships can leverage the University’s resources and expand the impact of members of our academic community, and will become a higher priority as the University seeks to compete with other comprehensive universities.
