The University of Toronto announced that Susan Christoffersen, dean of the Rotman School of Management since 2021, will not seek a second term and will transition to a presidential advisory role focused on innovation investments. Christoffersen will remain dean through June 2026 while launching a university‑wide portfolio to expand venture capital opportunities, student‑managed funds and experiential learning across U of T. The leadership change follows program expansions and strategic launches at Rotman, including new one‑year business degrees. The university said a search for Christoffersen’s successor will begin soon; the appointment underscores a growing institutional emphasis on monetizing innovation ecosystems and linking academic programs to revenue and industry partnerships.
