The Secret to our Success
I am pleased to share that the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Medicine has reached yet another milestone in our Boundless campaign. At over $400 million raised to date, our Faculty has had unprecedented success in attracting the support of hundreds of individuals and organizations in Toronto, across Canada and around the world. While U of T Medicine’s reputation for excellence in education and research is driving this monumental achievement, there is one additional requirement for campaign success that cannot be overlooked: a fully engaged alumni community.
The Faculty of Medicine is fortunate to have alumni practising in multiple disciplines and located all over the world. It is only through exploring new opportunities with alumni, who have interest in those priority areas coinciding with the Faculty’s, that we will reach our $500 million campaign goal, helping to advance the exciting work underway here at U of T Medicine.
I look forward to working with Dean Trevor Young and our Alumni Relations team to reach out to wider groups in our alumni community to cultivate the support required to expand our Faculty’s success.

One Faculty Member’s Pledge to Make a Difference
Whether he’s speaking to donors, other volunteers, or even his peers, Dr. Dimitri Anastakis has a knack for making others feel inspired about the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto.
“Our Faculty brings such important contributions to Canadians and to the world, and it’s something I celebrate when speaking to others,” he says. “I have always been of the mindset to ask what more can I do for the University to raise awareness about our incredible work.”
As a proud alumnus, faculty member and donor himself, Dr. Anastakis has played an incredible leadership role in fundraising for U of T Medicine in his past role as Chair of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and currently as Vice-Dean of Continuing Professional Development. Dr. Anastakis left a legacy in the Division by spearheading its first giving campaign among faculty. Today, this initiative continues long past his tenure.
