Welcome to the 2025-2026 academic year

September 02, 2025

Students on Polonsky Commons, Ontario Tech University's north campus, in the fall

Welcome back!

We hope your summer was filled with opportunities to recharge, make memories, and spend meaningful time with family and friends.

There’s a special energy that comes with September at Ontario Tech. The campus comes alive with the return of familiar faces and the arrival of new students and colleagues, bringing fresh excitement to our community. A new academic year always brings fresh momentum, new prospects, and the chance to make a lasting impact on our students, community and beyond.

Before the semester gets into full swing, we hope to see you and your families tonight at our Welcome Back BBQ! Let’s kick off the year in true Ridgeback style with food, fun, connection, and exciting varsity soccer action!

Here’s to a year ahead filled with collaboration, achievement, and the spirit that makes Ontario Tech such a remarkable place to be. We look forward to seeing you on campus!

Sincerely,

Dr. Steven Murphy                                        Dr. Lori A. Livingston
President and Vice-Chancellor                     Provost and Vice-President, Academic
