During my time at Carleton, I was one of many students that benefited from Glen Toner’s mentorship and teaching. What sets Glen apart from other professors is the level of sustained, personal commitment he shows to his students in both their professional and personal development. Whenever I asked, Glen was always there to help... More

Carey Frey MA in Public Administration, ISE (2004)

By the time a student reaches the post-graduate level, they invariably have been exposed to numerous educators. It is also probable that most of those students were fortunate enough to develop a special relationship with a teacher that resulted in a profound impact on their lives. With Glen Toner, many students discover a commitment... More

Travis Dagg: MA in Sustainable Energy (2018)

The School of Public Policy and Administration, and Glen and his courses in particular, introduced me to the issues of sustainability and climate change and gave me the opportunity to have a career focusing on these important public policy issues.

I first met Glen by phone while on a backpacking trip. I had applied to a couple of programs at Carleton and was considering my options.

Daniel Rosenbloom: MA in Public Administration ISE (2011); PhD in Public Policy (2019)

When I started my academic career at Carleton in the MAPA-ISE program, I was principally interested in getting an education. What I received, however, was a far more profound lifelong challenge issued by Professor Glen Toner (and reinforced by his colleagues at SPPA). From Glen’s first seminar onward, he has challenged me to realize... More

Harris Berton: MA in Sustainable Energy (2016)

There are very few graduate programs in Canada that have both as much value and relevance as the MAPA-ISE stream and the Sustainable Energy Policy Program for young professionals in energy and environmental policy.

Zoé St Pierre: MA in Sustainable Energy (2019)

When I started my graduate studies at Carleton, I felt a bit like I didn’t belong. Coming to a new city, a new school and a new program, it was intimidating. I was surrounded by some of the smartest people I’ve ever met, and I had trouble believing that I too, had what it... More

John McNally: MA in Sustainable Energy (2019)

It’s hard to imagine a more passionate professor than Dr. Toner. It’s equally hard to imagine how any professor could make any more of an effort to be attentive and available to students than he was. Glen pushed every year's crop of students to be the best versions of themselves, to learn and to... More

Erik Koskela: MA in Sustainable Energy (2019)

I have never been more engaged in a classroom than during my time with Dr. Glen Toner. He has an extraordinary ability to push his students outside of their comfort zone, encourage them to think critically, and prepare for the next steps in their careers. I attended grad school as a part-time student and... More
