Former Mississauga mayor Hazel McCallion has been reappointed as a special adviser to the University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM).
The 101-year-old McCallion, a long-time advocate for UTM, has been working with the university’s Institute for Management and Innovation to develop a master’s degree in urban innovation and development, as well as a non-credit training course for those aspiring to enter public service.
“I am delighted that we are continuing our partnership with Mayor McCallion,” said Alexandra Gillespie, vice-president and principal at U of T Mississauga. “Her knowledge of politics and Mississauga is an invaluable resource as we continue to build for the future.”
McCallion was first appointed to the U of T Mississauga position in 2015 following her retirement from public office.
UTM officials in the past have praised her for being “champion of higher education and its role in building a globally competitive local economy.”
McCallion’s term as special adviser runs until 2023.
