Director Frederic Dimanche

Welcome message from                              Dr. Frédéric Dimanche, Director,            Ted Rogers School of Hospitality and Tourism Management

Welcome to Toronto Metropolitan University! We are delighted that you have chosen the Ted Rogers School of Hospitality and Tourism Management to start or continue your higher education journey. The university and Toronto offer you a plethora of opportunities to gain a well-rounded educational experience. We encourage you to engage in campus life as a whole.

As Canada’s premier Hospitality and Tourism Management School, we are committed to providing the resources and programs to assist you in your transition to university and get you started on your way to academic success. If you choose to, there will be opportunities to develop your leadership skills and learn to problem-solve effectively and efficiently, which will drive innovation. We will encourage you to be critical thinkers and provide opportunities to develop competencies to manage sustainable organizations in a diverse and multicultural environment.

But business is not the only thing. At Toronto Metropolitan University, we value a complete education - knowledge, skills, and morals. In the words of Martin Luther King Jr, “we must remember that intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education.” 

The next step is attending our HTM Academic Orientation on Tuesday, August 29th at 9:00 a.m. (Registration at 8:30 am TRSM Commons 7th floor). Orientation is mandatory for incoming students and allows you to get to know Toronto Metropolitan University and HTM. Please RSVP on the Orientation Events page. Make sure you know what other steps you need to take as a new student at Toronto Metropolitan University. 

I am looking forward to meeting you soon. This is an exciting time for an industry that is evolving. Please know that we are here for you and to help you achieve your academic and professional goals. If you need assistance (or just want to say hi), please feel free to contact me at fdimanche@torontomu.ca.
