The Faculty of Arts and Science encourages as many students as possible to undertake a significant, academic-related international experience during their academic careers, and supports faculty in developing such opportunities. International opportunities include partnerships developed with Indigenous nations both within Canadian borders and beyond.

 

To allow as much planning time as possible, the table below summarizes requests for proposals for A&S international-related programs. Please circulate this memo to faculty members and students within your units and encourage them to attend the events listed on the second page for further information.

 

For program proposal forms and information on our fall events, please see the chart below, the International Programs and Partnerships website: http://www.artsci.utoronto.ca/international-programs or contact fas.international@utoronto.ca or 416-978-0284.
