When Woodsworth College student Zachary Prong travelled to China after finishing high school, he intended to stay no more than two months. Several years later, China had become his home.

Now back in Canada and studying at the University of Toronto, Prong remains deeply affected by his time there – something that led him to enrol in the Faculty of Arts & Science’s new Contemporary Asian Studies program.

One of Canada’s most accomplished diplomats, David Mulroney, will take up his post as Distinguished Senior Fellow with the Munk School’s Canada Centre for Global Security Studies at the University of Toronto. Mr. Mulroney, Canada’s Former Ambassador to China, will join the school starting next month.
