Reach Researchers

Since 2015, 90 undergraduate and graduate students from nine schools and faculties across the University of Toronto have published 17 case studies on innovative programs in 14 countries. Reach alumni have secured positions in prominent public and private sector organizations such as the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth, McKinsey, Global Affairs Canada, Grand Challenges Canada, the United Nations and the SickKids Centre for Global Child Health.

Equity, diversity and inclusion are at the heart of the Reach Alliance – both in terms of the communities that we investigate and the leaders within our network.

  • 63% of the Reach Alliance talent pipeline are leaders of colour, of which 12% are Black identifying

  • 70% of the Reach Alliance talent pipeline are women leaders, of which 61% are women leaders of colour

  • 80% of our faculty mentors are women, all leaders in their respective disciplines
