Staff Announcement: Research Oversight and Compliance Office (ROCO)

Dear Colleagues

It is with mixed emotion that I am writing to you that Elizabeth DiDonato will be leaving the University of Toronto. Her last day with us will be Friday May 11th, 2012 as she will be joining McCain Foods as the Vice President Global Governance and Compliance. For Elizabeth this is an outstanding acknowledgement of her capabilities and achievements that have culminated throughout her career, including the contributions she has made to the University. We congratulate Elizabeth on this exceptional opportunity.

I recruited Elizabeth to U of T just over three years ago when I established the Research Oversight and Compliance Office (ROCO). She has had a significant influence in shaping the role of this office and function, a first of its kind in the country. Other organizations have looked to this U of T model as a means to address the evolving environment of accountability and have confirmed the value and need to support the ROCO function.

On behalf of all your friends and colleagues Elizabeth, we wish you well in your next grand challenge and by the way go easy on the fries. I hear the compensation package comes with all you can eat!

Best Regards

Paul
