Dear Colleagues:
The Arbor Awards were created by the University of Toronto in 1989 to recognize volunteers for outstanding personal service to the university. Since then, the university has annually acknowledged the alumni and friends whose loyalty, dedication and generosity have added substantially to the quality of the University of Toronto experience for students, faculty, staff and alumni.
The Arbor Award is our way of thanking our alumni and friends and letting them know that their contributions of time, energy and expertise do not go unnoticed. Sponsored by the Division of University Advancement, the award ceremony takes place each September at the President's official residence at 93 Highland Avenue.
