Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
The University of St. Michael’s College (USMC) is a Catholic institution of higher learning federated with the University of Toronto. USMC boasts a large and dynamic undergraduate division where students study across the full breadth of disciplines in the arts and the sciences. It is also home to a growing Social Responsibility and Sustainability program in its Continuing Education Division; the renowned Regis St. Michael’s Faculty of Theology (in partnership with Regis College); and the John M. Kelly Library, which is one of the busiest libraries at the University of Toronto. USMC is looking forward to its 180th anniversary in 2032 and has formulated a strategic plan, St. Mike’s 180, whose three pillars—academics, community, and sustainability—point to its commitment to transformative leadership in service of the common good and of the planet we share.
