List of vice-presidents and principals of the University of Toronto Mississauga

The University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM), one of the three campuses of the University of Toronto, has had 10 principals since it was formally established in 1967 as Erindale College. Since 2002, the role of UTM principal has included vice-presidential responsibilities of the University of Toronto. The current officeholder is Alexandra Gillespie, who has served as the vice-president and principal since July 1, 2020.^[1]

Sometimes referred to as the "VP-principal" or "VPP," the vice-president/principal is the executive head of the Mississauga campus. The VP-principal is also an ex-officio member of the UTM Campus Council, an arm of the University of Toronto Governing Council.^[2] Since 2002, when the campus grew significantly and became an academic division of the university, the role of its principal was broadened to become a dual role as a vice-president of the University of Toronto, who reports directly to the president of the University of Toronto.

The VP-principal's official residence on campus is a historic building known as Lislehurst that formerly belonged to the Schreiber estate, from whom the property on which the campus was built was acquired by the University of Toronto in 1963.^[3]

The first principal of UTM was David Carlton Williams, a professor of psychology who, in 1964, was tasked with leading the establishment of both the university's Erindale and Scarborough campuses.^[4]
