Leading Change | The Campaign for the Schulich School of Business 1

“ At Schulich, we know that the best research is real-world driven and comes from bringing together top minds in one place, at one time to solve specifi c problems and then applying that new knowledge to the world of business. Providing the environment for our faculty and students to collaborate, discover and engage with business leaders is both our vision and our responsibility. It’s how we are Leading Change – and shaping the future of global business and leadership.”

Leading

At 50, Schulich is undertaking one of its biggest transformations yet. We are Leading Change by expanding our School, investing in research and student success, and pioneering new and more meaningful ways for our more than 29,000 alumni around the world to be a part of the future of management education.

Since our founding in 1965 and over the past 50 years, the Schulich School of Business has emerged as one of the world’s best business schools. Like any top business, though, we must continue to grow and change to meet the demands of our stakeholders and the rapidly evolving global marketplace. that’s why we are expanding our global footprint with new campuses in hyderabad, india and Beijing, China. that’s why we continue to innovate by introducing leading-edge programs and specializations like Business analytics and global retail Management.

and that’s why we are launching the Leading Change campaign.

With the support of our community, we will construct a 67,000-square-foot home for Schulich’s research and graduate students. We will leverage the space to establish new centres of research excellence and attract leading faculty chairs and professors. We will help our students succeed by providing scholarships and strengthening our global alumni network through Schulich’s one-of-a-kind volunteer, partnership and engagement opportunities.

as a result of your investment, our students will benefi t from powerful collaborative learning and research experiences, we will deliver practical solutions to real-life challenges, our alumni will become our next-generation leaders, donors and volunteers, and Schulich will continue to shape the future of global business.

Join us as we lay the foundation for the future of the Schulich School of Business and continue to prove that the best only keeps getting better.

Few schools in the world can match the global, innovative and diverse nature of the Schulich School of Business. But Schulich has only recently begun to make a mark in what Dean Horváth calls our “next frontier” – research.

not truly recognized until the 1950s as something that could be studied, business management has since evolved into one of the most complex areas of academia, with profound implicationsfor economic growth and social well-being. only through research can Schulich continue to make major contributions to business and society.

our faculty’s outstanding research work has been recognized externally through numerous awards and through the annual rankings conducted by some of the world’s most prestigious business publications. The 2014 Bloomberg Businessweek ranking rated Schulich among the top five schools in the world outside the u.S. in its intellectual Capital category, which measures high-level research output. And the 2014 Financial Times of London business school ranking rated Schulich among the top 15 publicly funded business schools in the world in the area of research.

But it is in the new and increasingly important fi elds of management thinking where Schulich really excels. our School is a globally recognized leader in the fi eld of responsible business research. Corporate Knights magazine, in its most recent ranking of the best schools in responsible business, rated Schulich #1 for research. In addition, we are home to 28 funded research chairs and professorships, and Schulich’s centres of excellence are vital sources of leading-edge, fi rst-rate research that is infl uencing the strategies and policies adopted by business, government and social sector leaders around the world.

Schulich is on the threshold of research greatness. to achieve our vision as one of the top business schools in the world, we must continue to invest in Schulich’s culture of innovation and discovery.

research is key to every business school’s reputation as a source of new knowledge that shapes global business and inspires global leadership.

Schulich knows that the best research and strategies come from bringing together top minds in one place, at one time, to solve specific problems and then applying that knowledge to drive new global business models that create value and enhance performance.

investing in research

Within the new graduate Study and Research Building, we will invest deeply in our research

specializations, expanding our threefold commitment to knowledge creation, knowledge

dissemination and knowledge application. Centres of excellence in real estate and infrastructure,

global enterprise, responsible business, business analytics and other emerging areas will create

new avenues of knowledge and shape the future of global business.

a home for each of the centres of excellence

each of the centres of excellence will have its own home in the graduate Study and Research Building

– a physical space where synergies will be maximized, and alumni and industry stakeholders can meet

with faculty and students to discuss research applications and industry challenges.

“It is an exciting time at the Schulich School of Business. Solid research-based insights into how to successfully run enterprises have become key assets we impart to our graduates. Our research also spans all areas of the globe thanks to our multinational and multilingual research team. The Leading Change campaign will solidify our many strengths and take our collaborative research ventures to new levels.”

student scholarships

investments in student scholarships have already helped countless Schulich students succeed,

including a signifi cant number of students who were the fi rst in their families to attend university.

Our Leading Change campaign goal is to ensure fi nancial need is never a barrier in our efforts to

attract talented undergraduate and graduate students.

gifts to this campaign priority will help establish high-value entrance scholarships, bursaries and

awards for students. endowed or term-funded awards will recognize the academic merit of students

applying to attend Schulich from other countries or other areas of Canada, while also aiding

those who would otherwise not have the means to attend Schulich.
