Faculty

“The goal is to integrate social innovation and social entrepreneurship in a students’ degree. Zone learning adds to the rich array of opportunities that are the hallmark of a Toronto Metropolitan education. We have a long tradition as leaders in experiential learning, and this is another way to do that.”

Marcia Moshe, Vice Provost Academic - Toronto Metropolitan University, formely Toronto Metropolitan University
