Nomination process for the Quadrangle Society of Massey College

  • Members are asked to restrict themselves to nominating only one candidate per year.
  • Each nominee must be supported by two (2) nominators within the Massey Community, one of whom will serve as lead nominator. Self-nominations will not be considered.
  • Nominations should be sent by email to nominations@masseycollege.ca using the subject line “QS Nomination of [the nominee’s name]”.
  • Each nomination must include the following four attachments: the nomination form, a letter of nomination from each of the two nominators, and the nominee’s CV. Only complete nominations will be considered by the Selection Committee.
  • Nominations will close on April 14th, 2019.
  • The Selection Committee will be composed four members of the College. They will include the Chair of the Quadrangle Society, the Principal of the College and two members at large and in good standing from the Quadrangle Society who will be selected by the Chair with input from the administration on who has the skills and temperament to be effective in the deliberation and selection of new members.

    • high achievement in their chosen discipline for their stage of career,
    • leadership in their community engagement,
    • engagement or experience with graduate students, and
    • clear indications that they will actively participate in the life of the college as described in the “Expectations” document
    • in keeping with the College’s commitment to principles of diversity, Quadrangle Society member selection will take account of demographics in order to build and maintain an inclusive community that expresses the diversities of the city of Toronto.
  • The persons on the proposed slate will be contacted by the Dean with the question of whether the nominated person would like her/his name to stand on the ballot.
  • The final slate of candidates will be submitted for approval by the Governing Board.
  • The initial term of a QS member is to be three years, followed by possible renewals at each subsequent three-year mark providing that each member has made a material contribution to the community and remains in good standing.
