Toronto 2010
On Thursday, 12 February 2010 several alumni and friends gathered at the National Club in downtown Toronto. Co-host, and alumnus, Consul-General Stefan Trofimovs (LLB, 1969) gave a warm welcome to his fellow alumni. He encouraged engagement with the university, with each other, and with the wider ex-patriot community in Toronto.
Professor John Dewar, Provost, then provided alumni a summary of recent news from the university. With the announcement of the partnership between the University of Melbourne and IBM just that week, Professor Dewar relayed the excitement that was being felt on campus. He also gave a brief update on the continued roll-out of the Melbourne Model and the shift of the university to a graduate school model.
The event brought together alumni ranging in age, in discipline, and in favourite footie teams, but who all shared fond memories of Melbourne uni.
There is a small, but dedicated group of alumni in Toronto. As the group gains momentum, please be in touch with any of the three alumni volunteers (Ceri, Mike or Christina) living in Toronto if you know of additional alumni contacts or have ideas for events: TorontoAlum.UniMelb@gmail.com
