Our 18 new Fellows represent the largest class of inductees that the University of Toronto has achieved in one year, and this accomplishment is even more striking when we compare ourselves to the number of new Fellows named at our peer institutions.

Congratulations once more to all those who have been honoured this year for this well-deserved recognition of your accomplishments. I also want to thank all those across the institution and beyond that nominate of colleagues; we sincerely appreciate your promotion of research excellence. THANK YOU.

Best Regards

Paul
