WELCOME TO TRENT 1 Message From The Dean to Trent Welcome Dear Graduate Students, It is my pleasure to welcome you to Trent University, a small, dynamic university committed to excellent teaching and cutting-edge research. We place an important emphasis on providing graduate students with individual attention and mentoring, helping you to realize your scholarly and professional goals. Recognized internationally as a leader in high calibre research, Trent offers graduate students the opportunity to work closely with award-winning faculty to become critical, engaged scholars, striving for excellence in your chosen area of study. Graduate students bring with them true passion and commitment to their research, and we want to do everything possible to help them grow intellectually, providing the knowledge, skills, and opportunities relevant to their field. Trent’s School of Graduate Studies is a growing concern, with fourteen disciplinary and interdisciplinary programs offered at the masters and doctoral level. Trent’s long standing commitment to interdisciplinarity is reflected in our innovative, collaborative, interdisciplinary programs, and in the commitment we make to encouraging intellectual and social dialogue between faculty and graduate students across all programs and disciplines. Some programs place a strong emphasis on interactions with the community and hands-on research, linking Trent students to other educational, professional, government and industry partners. Trent also has a number of unique research centres transversing the humanities, social sciences, and sciences that provide exceptional opportunities for graduate students to connect with researchers across the country and internationally. Graduate students are an essential part of the university’s overall mission to produce and disseminate knowledge; they are also the researchers and intellectual leaders of the future, whether they opt for careers in academic, professional or applied areas of work. We welcome your questions and inquiries. Please explore our website, get in touch with the School of Graduate Studies, or contact the graduate program you are interested in.

  • Highlights of the Year April 1, 2018 – March 31, 2019
    Art Gallery of Ontario YEAR IN REVIEW 2018 – 2019 Highlights of the Year April 1, 2018 – March 31, 2019 2018–19 was a year flled with a variety of engaging exhibitions, programs and activities at the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO). The AGO continued to deliver on its mission to bring people together with art. The guiding principles of Art, Audience and Learning provide the foundation for our exhibitions, programs and activities. The AGO has a notable history of developing and hosting successful exhibitions that attract visitors from broad geographic and demographic bases, while contributing to the reputation of Ontario as a cultural centre on an international scale. The museum continued to share the remarkable AGO Collection with the public, with about 3,900 works on display. The Indigenous and Canadian galleries documented lives and times in our city, province and nation through art, with a growing inclusion of Indigenous works to provide new perspectives on our past and present. Contemporary galleries showcased works by Canadian and international artists. Visitors were able to experience European masterworks dating from the early Middle Ages through to the 20th century. The growing photography collection at the AGO showcased the early pioneers in the feld from the mid-1800s to contemporary artists. AGO programming included a robust schedule of exhibitions all year-long, highlighted by: Last spring, over 165,000 people were wowed by Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors and the huge demand for tickets was unprecedented. Visitors loved Kusama and the AGO wanted to give everyone the opportunity to see her work in Toronto permanently.

  • Year in Review 2016 2017
    YEAR IN 2016 REVIEW 2017 Message from the President and Director We had a great year! Our staff and volunteers achieved this by focusing on our mandate to increase access, share great art and facilitate learning. The AGO presented extraordinary exhibitions, including The Idea of North: The Paintings of Lawren Harris, Small Wonders: Gothic Boxwood Miniatures, and Mystical Landscapes: Masterpieces from Monet, Van Gogh and more. We are particularly proud that these exhibitions travelled to Paris, Vienna, Amsterdam, New York, Los Angeles and Boston. We acquired more than 1,000 works during the year, bringing each area of our collection to a higher level of excellence. A major highlight was the acquisition of 522 photographs by renowned artist Diane Arbus. The AGO now holds the second largest Arbus collection in the world. We welcomed more than 965,000 visitors, the highest annual attendance since the AGO re-opened in 2008. This includes 46,000 students, who explored our galleries and created their own works of art through school group programs linked to the Ontario education curriculum. The Grange Park revitalization project got underway this year. This major capital initiative will completely transform a neglected inner city park to an inspired and sustainable green space. The new Grange Park opens to the public in summer 2017. At this time, we will also unveil a new south entrance that links the AGO to the park. Our Look:Forward project also began this past year, triggering a major reinstallation of our collection over the next 18 months. One of the first initiatives was to install eight of Michael Snow’s Walking Woman sculptures in the Maxine Granovsky & Ira Gluskin Hall of our Main Entrance so visitors can experience art from the moment they arrive.
