IT@UofT Strategic Plan Annual Report (2020) new

The IT@UofT Strategic Plan Annual Report (2020) was released on Nov. 26, 2020. Review progress updates as they align with the IT@UofT strategic plan thematic pillars: People, Solutions and Collaboration.

The sudden shift in the higher education information technology (IT) landscape in response to the impacts of COVID-19 resulted in a monumental digital transformation and the acceleration of many of our initiatives. It also drove new priorities to the forefront. With the growing requirements for remote access to administrative and academic services, staff within Information Technology Services (ITS) and across the IT@UofT community continue to innovate and work together to meet evolving and diverse needs.
