GEORGE ALEVIZOS HBA, Theatre & Drama Studies, Class of 2019

University of Toronto Mississauga alumnus George Alevizos wants to ensure actors with disabilities are supported and represented in the Canadian entertainment industry.

Alevizos, who uses a wheelchair, is working with the actors’ union ACTRA (the Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists) to audit the accessibility of casting facilities in Toronto.

His efforts were highlighted in a recent report on CBC’s The National, which looked at how the entertainment industry is becoming more inclusive— particularly for people with disabilities.

“I feel like the more representation we see, the more willing people are to go out and work on their craft.”

HABON ALI, UTM VALEDICTORIAN HBSc, Biology and Environmental Science, Class of 2020

Bet on yourself. Embrace failure. Lean on your friends and family. Those are a few of the lessons that Habon Ali shared with her fellow classmates as the valedictorian for UTM’s Class of 2020.

Over her final year at UTM, Ali also managed a challenging portfolio as VP Equity on UTMSU’s executive leadership team and, since 2018, Ali has advised Prime Minster Justin Trudeau on issues concerning Canadian youth.

Ali was encouraged to stretch herself through UTM’s Research Opportunity Program, which gave her the chance to gain new research skills under the guidance of her mentors.

“How do I want to make change in the world? I see that the things I like—migration, health policy, equity, global relations and international policy—are coming together. The future is really wide open.”

BUSINESS

COURTNEY JONES BCom, Finance, Class of 2019

In the fall of 2019, Courtney Jones joined the incoming class of Harvard Law School.

It is a challenge she feels ready to meet head-on, thanks in large part to the ongoing support she received from her tight-knit family, and community of friends and faculty at University of Toronto Mississauga.

Jones pursued a major in economics and specialization in finance because it would add value to her as a lawyer later on and help her become an advocate for small businesses.

“As long as you’re willing to work for it and believe that you are capable of doing it, I think you can achieve anything you want.”

COMMERCE

Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) The Commerce programs combine economics and the various sub-disciplines of management, enabling students to develop analytical skills and gain knowledge of institutions using the resources of the Institute for Management and Innovation (IMI).

MANAGEMENT

Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) The Management programs prepare you to become an effective member of organizations. Drawing on a balanced offering of rigorous intellectual frameworks from the social sciences, they cover the nature and working of organizations, and managerial functions.
