MBA(FS) Corporate Finance, 2002 Winter Intensive – this was the date when I first met Dr. Iraj Fooladi.  Corporate Finance is a challenging course, so I entered the classroom with a measure of trepidation.  I need not have worried.  Dr. Fooladi’s warm welcome and compassionate assurances that all concerns would be addressed in the coming three days, allowed me, along with my colleagues, to engage in a profound learning experience.

The next time we met was at the 2003 Graduation Ceremonies.  His genuine delight in seeing the MBA(FS) Class of 2003 cross the stage to receive their hard-earned degrees, demonstrated his dedication to sharing knowledge and experience.  Dr. Fooladi is an extraordinary teacher, leader and mentor.   It was a privilege to have him as my professor.

Congratulations, Dr. Iraj Fooladi on receiving the Hossein Mousavi Foundation Community Appreciation Award

The inaugural Hossein Mousavi Foundation Community Appreciation Award was offered to Dr. Iraj Fooladi, for his significant contributions to Nova Scotia and Canada through his professional activities and, particularly the Iranian Community in Nova Scotia, through volunteer involvement and achievements and by showing strong leadership. The award included $5,000 payable to Dr. Fooladi’s favorite charity.

A gala dinner was held to celebrate this outstanding achievement. Over 180 people attended the event including Speaker of the House of Commons, The Honourable Geoff Regan, Halifax Mayor, Mike Savage, and other dignitaries.  Dr. Richard Florizone offered his congratulations virtually, which we welcome you to view at this link.

DAL200: A 200th Anniversary Portrait Dalhousie University

“No one person has seen all of Dalhousie: all its iterations, all the personalities that helped to form it and have, in turn, been formed by it.  This book is a witness to the University’s two hundred years.  It is a cloud chamber, a place where transformation in time and space has been frozen, offering glimpses into multiply memories.”

Our Third Century Starts With You

On January 4, 2018, I received my invitation via e-mail, reminding me not to miss my opportunity to kick off Dalhousie’s anniversary year:

Join us on February 6, 2018 for DALHOUSIE’S BICENTENNIAL LAUNCH,
a unique performance event to kick off our anniversary year.

Featuring a special appearance by George Elliott Clarke, MA’89, LLD’99, the former Parliamentary Poet Laureate and author of Dal’s bicentennial poem, it’s a celebration of history, art and culture you won’t want to miss.

Vancouver and Halifax are separated by many miles, but on February 6, 2018, I felt I was in the Rebecca Cohn Auditorium, Dalhousie Arts Centre, Halifax, celebrating Dalhousie University’s Bicentennial Launch.

Good news for those who were unable to watch the live streaming, the event was recorded and can be accessed here.  I know you will enjoy this remarkable performance that welcomes the arrival of Dalhousie’s third century.
