Welcome to a new year of academic excellence. Whether you are a new or returning student, we look forward to your contribution within our community. You will be joining other like-minded individuals who share our vision of inspiring transformative solutions for society.
In February 2020, our world changed with the Covid19 pandemic. As a global community, we have come together to face this unprecedented disruption. Dalhousie University has responded by investing in our students and in our student experiences. We are working closely with our public health partners and are diligently monitoring the impact of the pandemic going forward. As with the 2020 Spring/Summer terms, this Fall term will be predominantly online, with limited exceptions. Our commitment to facilitate opportunities for our students is unwavering. Our goal is to foster an environment of teaching and learning excellence, built on innovation, collaboration, and respect.
Dalhousie’s Faculty of Management has a unique approach to education. We integrate four disciplines which encourages and promotes knowledge exchange: the Rowe School of Business, the School of Information Management, the School of Public Administration and the School for Resources and Environmental Studies. We believe that offering transformative solutions demands all of our students to step beyond conventional boundaries.
CEGE Connection outreach modality connects our students, alumni, and stakeholders. These past four years, graduates, students, and professors have discussed themes ranging from virtual teams, and information management to scholarship and deeper learning. This demonstrates a values-based approach to management education and research.
Thank you to our engaged alumni. You make us proud. As the leaders and managers in the business sector, public sector, and civil society, your influence within a complex global environment has been extraordinary.
We look forward to the ongoing conversations on CEGE Connection.
