Looking for smart, fun urbanists to teach in the Master of Urban Innovation program cc: School of Cities

When I left #UWaterloo in 2019 to lead the Master of Urban Innovation program - I thought I was trading geese for deer .... Apparently not. PS No deer sightings yet.

Looking forward to this event organized by the Mobility Network

Apparently at U of T Mississauga there are turtles crossing the road too (there's a joke in there - but - I am too tired to find it).



We are excited to see our second cohort of Master of Urban Innovation students cross the stage at convocation today #UofTGrad23

We are so proud of Jananee S and all our Master of Urban Innovation and Institute for Management & Innovation (IMI) 🇨🇦 grads #UofTGrad23
