Provost and Vice President Academic

Integrated Planning in Action

Ryerson University thrives on ideas and innovative thinking. Staff and faculty shape and realize educational goals, leverage the university's strength, and promote knowledge entrepreneurship. Emerging from these roles are initiatives that help to embed Ryerson in the community, prepare our students for the 21st-century job market, and create partnerships that stimulate research.

The provost and vice president academic works with the president, other vice-presidents, vice-provosts, deans, chairs and many others to develop university-wide centres and capital projects.
