Faculty, librarians and staff from across the �ؿ�ζSM were recognized by their colleagues almost 600 times for their contributions to service, leadership, innovation, citizenship, collaboration, and commitment to equity  in the second quarter of the fiscal year.

A total of 60 people received a True Blue Award from August through October.

“Fostering excellence at the university starts with recognizing and celebrating the contributions of colleagues, big and small,” says Lesa Holmes, communications and engagement manager with the division of People Strategy, Equity & Culture. “Valuing the broad range of work happening across our tri-campus community contributes to advancing a culture of appreciation and inclusion at U of T.
