The receipt of awards and honours is a vital way to acknowledge and promote excellence in research and innovation, which is important for our faculty members, for our academic units and for the University as a whole. Awards and honours help to create a culture of excellence that attracts top academics and students and further increases our impact and visibility on the world stage. The Office of the Vice-Principal Research strongly encourages members of the University of Toronto Scarborough community to nominate colleagues for awards and honours.
