A brief description of the student sustainability research program:
Sustainability-focused student funding program is Partnership for Change: The RBC Immigrant, Diversity and Inclusion Project.
Sustainability Ambassador Program: Sustainable Ambassadors organize programs, initiatives, and campaigns that advance a sustainable culture at TMU in an effort to guide and motivate students, employees, and faculty. For this job, which involves a minimum time commitment of 5 to 10 hours per month during the school year, students can apply. Students will get a Level-Up badge and acknowledgment on their co-curricular transcript after completing the program.
Living Planet @ Campus Program: Students can apply to be a part of the Living Planet @ Campus Program, which is run in collaboration with WWF Canada and gives you a chance to enhance sustainable practices in your own life and on campus. The initiative provides a range of options, such as grant financing, hackathon challenges, and neighbourhood clean-ups.
Partnership for Change: The RBC Immigrant, Diversity and Inclusion Project at Toronto Metropolitan University is a seven-year initiative supporting faculty research and student projects focusing on four thematic areas:
Immigrant Employment and Entrepreneurship
Social Engagement of Immigrants
Immigrants and Mental Health
Immigrant Preferences and Consumer Behaviour
The project places a particular focus on outreach and knowledge mobilization to ensure it shapes policy and practice relating to immigration, diversity and inclusion. It aims to produce real-world impact on immigrants and their families, boost economic growth and innovation, and build healthy and inclusive communities.

The promotion or tenure guidelines or policies:
Toronto Metropolitan University’s (formerly Ryerson’s) Strategic research plan [Steven N. Liss, VPRI] states that:
“Central to TMU’s success is a focus on SRC excellence and impact through a combination of investments by faculties, researchers, and the institution. Striving for the highest standards in SRC excellence, TMU is enabling SRC growth by supporting strategic hiring priorities, driving multidisciplinary SRC initiatives, growing graduate programming and training, and recognizing distinction in SRC activity.”
‘Using the Strategic Research Plan as a guide, TMU will strengthen strategic and multidisciplinary collaborations across themes, expand international partnerships, and promote greater alignment between the innovation ecosystem and research through enhanced commercialization, knowledge translation, and mobilization’
Committees are made up of interdisciplinary staff and faculty members.
In particular, the TMU Public Policy Taskforce was established to identify how to increase TMU’s capacity to shape public policy dialogue and inform policy making, and how to grow TMU’s reputation as a place where research is used to confront complex public policy problems and improve lives. Further building from the work of the taskforce, the new School of Public Policy and Democratic Innovation was established, paving the way to influence and provide leadership in shaping public policy to solve today’s complex socioeconomic and environmental challenges.
TMU is embarking on a new chapter that will help shape the future of health care in Ontario. In March 2021, the university received a planning grant from the provincial government that supported the development of a proposal for a new kind of medical school in Brampton. Approved by TMU’s Senate in March 2023, the proposed details the university’s innovative approach to health education and the manner in which it will address growing gaps in primary care across the province and the country at large. Systemic cultural inequities withing the healthcare system contribute significantly to unmet care needs in Ontario. TMU’s School of Medicine is being designed from the ground up to provide a new model for primary care - one that’s community drive and intentionally inclusive, and that trains doctors whose cultural awareness and humility are as crucial as their medical skills.
Yellowhead Institute is an Indigenous-led research and education centre based in the Faculty of Arts at TMU. Privileging Indigenous philosophy and rooted in community networks, it offers critical and accessible resources to support the reclamation of Indigenous land and life.
Geography and Environmental Studies - Exploring and analyzing the complex interconnections between people and their natural and built environments is the focus of geographic inquiry. TMU’s Geographic Analysis program is uniquely positioned to prepare students for the professional workplace using state-of-the-art technology in geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing. Through a combination of classroom lectures, geotechnology training, field studies, and a mandatory work placement, students develop the ability to provide real-world solutions in areas including business location, real estate development, urban poverty, public health, crime prevention as well as environment and pollution. The program offers four options concentrations in location analysis, urban analysis, environmental analysis and geotechnologies.
