Christine Szustaczek, the University of Toronto's vice-president, communications, has been inducted into the Canadian Public Relations Society (CPRS)'s College of Fellows.
CPRS names fellows in recognition of their outstanding contributions to the development of public relations and communications management.
Szustaczek has headed U of T Communications since 2023, overseeing an award-winning, tri-campus team of writers, communications strategists, brand marketing professionals, digital and media relations specialists, videographers and photographers. Her role in enhancing internal communications and sharing U of T’s story – including the wide-ranging impact of the university’s world-leading research and scholarship – has been instrumental in the department’s success.
“I am honoured to join the ranks of so many giants in our field,” Szustaczek said. “Their collective achievement has transformed our profession - and the places we all serve - for the better. The fact that this award is peer reviewed makes the recognition all the more special.
“I thank the Canadian Public Relations Society for this tremendous honour and I commit to continuing to uphold my work to the highest standards expected of us so that I too can strive to be a model for others.”
