RE:  Appointment of 2012-13 University Professors

The University of Toronto recognizes its most outstanding scholars with the designation of 'University Professor'.  I am pleased to announce that at its meeting yesterday the Academic Board approved the 2012-13 University Professors.  The newest members of this exceptional group are as follows:

- Professor Thomas Hurka, Department of Philosophy, Faculty of Arts & Science

- Professor Eugenia Kumacheva, Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Arts & Science

I would like to thank the members of the selection committee for their work in reviewing the many excellent candidates.  I also thank all of the nominators who prepared dossiers for submission.

Please join me in congratulating the 2012-13 University Professors on their outstanding accomplishments. 

The biographies of the 2012-13 University Professors are available on the attached memo and at our website:  http://www.provost.utoronto.ca/awards/uprofessors.htm
