The University of Toronto announced that Susan Christoffersen will step down as dean of the Rotman School of Management when her term ends on June 30, 2026, and will take a new role as Presidential Advisor on Innovation Investments beginning Jan. 1. Christoffersen’s deanship since 2021 included launching one‑year business degrees and expanding executive education and industry partnerships; the new advisory post will centralize venture‑capital and experiential learning initiatives across the university. Business‑school leaders and alumni relations teams should prepare for a leadership search and seize the transition as an opportunity to reaffirm programmatic priorities and donor engagement strategies tied to innovation and revenue diversification.
