Rosemary Evans Principal

My gratitude to you is immeasurable. Your support shows that UTS is far more than halls and classrooms, but the source of a strong and enduring community that cares deeply for our school and everything it means.

Because of you, UTS and its tradition of excellence will shine brighter.

Olivia Anderson-Clarke ’17

UTS is about being the best you can be and I think this allowed me to push myself to celebrate my love of learning. UTS prepared me well for the life after graduation.

If it weren’t for UTS, I wouldn’t be confident in my abilities and my unique self.

I am very thankful for the education I received at UTS.

UTS has earned its reputation as an outstanding academic institution with the highest calibre faculty and students. However, we believe that what really defines UTS is the values that it stands for and wholeheartedly embraces—values such as respect, equality and inclusion. These values create an environment which enables students to pursue their academic, athletic and creative interests in a safe, supportive and nurturing way, allowing students to achieve their full potential.

This ideal experience is worthy of a first-class facility, which the UTS community should support in every way possible.

We and our four boys are privileged to be part of the UTS community.

You’re investing in the leaders, change-makers and thinkers of tomorrow.

Throughout our years at UTS, we’ve personally seen the impact that donors have on each and every student. Thank you for helping make our UTS education a transformative period in our lives.

Avi Shah ’25

When I graduate from UTS, I’ll look back at this building and all the moments I experienced in it—everything you made possible—and take that gratitude with me to wherever my next adventure is.

You’ve shown me what the UTS community can do.

Sarah ShugarmanMusic Teacher, Department Coordinator of Expressive Arts

It is well-known that UTS has nurtured an impressive number of internationally renowned musicians, playwrights, composers and art-makers, and continues to attract some of the most talented young musicians in the city. What is perhaps less-known, but all too familiar to our students, teachers, and alumni, is that this pursuit of excellence has always entailed a re-purposing of our hallways, closets and stairwells as teaching and rehearsal spaces. To imagine… having dedicated learning spaces and state-of-the-art facilities for rehearsal, performance, creative and collaborative process is absolutely thrilling. For the first time in our history, the potential of the space will reflect the potential of the students.

A science building went up in my high school, made possible by a single donation from an alumna and her parents. It remains part of my high school memory even though I never stepped inside before my graduation. A (then) state-of-the-art teaching hall went up in my grad school, made possible by donations from alumni and parents. I was among the first group of students who took classes and held study sessions there. It occupies a significant position in my grad school memory. Another state-of-the-art building went up in my business school, made possible by donations from alumni, friends and families. Pride arises each time I pass it by, even though my contribution as a new grad is insignificant in amount. My son may not be able to graduate from the new building at 371 Bloor St. W., but he will return to the new campus with great pride as I did returning to the science building at my high school. My daughter will be among the first group of kids who go to classes and complete high school from the new 371. I can even see now how she and her friends chatting or idling in the sun-lit new atrium, as I did many years ago, in another new atrium. I am proud to help building their fond memories. I am proud to help building the future.

Our daughter Christina loves the school and adores its teachers very much. We are honored to be able to contribute to the school. When Christina grows up, she will be proud of the donation made on her behalf to her alma mater. We wish UTS grow stronger and even more outstanding.  

TAYLOR SHIRTLIFF-HINDS ’17

This campaign is an investment in the future, and in the students of the future. We are building a facility for future leaders.

NASIR NOORMOHAMED P ’09, ’10, ’14UTS Board of Directors (2009-2015), Former UTSPA Co-President

There’s a very strong sense of community at UTS. It doesn’t matter where you come from or who you are. As long as you have the passion for learning you are equal. That feeling of belonging is lifelong. This is a great cause for parents of former students to support, to allow others to benefit from the UTS experience.
