Ready for the World: 2018-19 Year in Review
Our graduate community empowers students with real-world skills, experience and industry connections to launch successful careers in today’s constantly changing global economy.
Message from Dr. Jennifer Mactavish, Vice-Provost and Dean
Career readiness has always distinguished graduate education at Ryerson. It has been the foundation of everything we have achieved together over the past eight years. Then and now, the enduring themes have been student-centredness, community building and creating spaces and opportunities for graduate students to come together beyond their respective disciplines and industries.
