About the Provost and Vice-President (Academic)

I'm Roberta Iannacito-Provenzano, Toronto Metropolitan University's Provost and Vice-President Academic. As the University's Chief Academic Officer and Chief Operating Officer, I provide leadership across the full academic enterprise, including faculties, graduate education, Zone Learning, TMU Global, student success, academic policy, budget stewardship and strategic planning. With a deep commitment to equity, inclusion, access and reconciliation, I strive to create an academic environment where our students, faculty, staff, researchers and our wider community can thrive. That means championing initiatives that advance Scholarly, Research and Creative (SRC) activities, learning and teaching, and faculty development.
