As a student at the University of Toronto at Scarborough,
you are part of a community dedicated to advancing knowledge in
a wide array of fields, dedicated to disseminating that knowledge
and its applications to students, other researchers and society,
and dedicated to the enhancement and harnessing of technology.
More specifically, you are part of a community that
has pioneered the development and use of information technology.
Scarborough was one of the first parts of the University to develop
a Web site and has been in the forefront of using the Web, and
more widely the Internet, for the enhancement of instruction:
from the simple posting of assignments to interactive discussion.
We currently have three of our large lecture theatres equipped
as "smart classrooms" and two portable "smart podiums"
that can move from room to room. "Smart classrooms"
are equipped with state-of-the-art computer facilities such as
Internet connectibility, CD ROM presentation ability, computer
output (screen) projection and digital document cameras which
project the image of any object onto the overhead screen (objects
as diverse as written documents, computer components and ancient
artifacts).
Professors at U of T at Scarborough are active researchers
and scholars and have won many prestigious awards for their contributions
to the arts, humanities, sciences and business. We strive to ensure
that the knowledge they impart to you is at the leading edge of
their disciplines.
University of Toronto at Scarborough has benefited
from its divisional (instead of departmental) structure and from
the fact that it is a medium-sized institution. Both of these
features have facilitated the development of significant interdisciplinary
programmes such as Biological Sciences (an integration of Zoology,
Botany, Microbiology and Biochemistry), Neuroscience (Psychology
and Biology) and Environmental Sciences (Geology, Physical Geography,
Biology, and Atmospheric Physics/Climatology). In addition, Drama,
Music, Fine Art History and Fine Art Studio have created integrated
programmes in Visual and Performing Arts and offer a co-op programme
in Arts Management.
These are just some of the ways in which the University of Toronto at Scarborough is able to contribute to your preparedness to face a challenging, exciting and rewarding new millennium.
I offer you my very best wishes for a rewarding year of study in our academically rich environment.
