Evolve. A Decade of Impact Building for the Future

2012–2022

Message from the Dean An unforgettable journey, a bold future.

Dear friends, When I first joined the UBC Sauder School of Business in 2012, I brought with me a core belief that we can build a more just, sustainable and prosperous world through innovation and responsible leadership. A decade later, it is clear this vision has been embraced and embedded across the school.

A pivotal moment for the school Over the past ten years, we’ve made great strides in the areas of sustainability, innovation and new technologies.

Yet we’re collectively facing complex challenges that require urgent solutions: a pandemic, the climate emergency, racial and social inequality, and more. Now, more than ever, the world needs responsible leaders—visionaries who have the courage to identify problems, who use their emotional intelligence to communicate with empathy and who possess the drive to make a difference. We need leaders who believe in the power of business for social good.

These are the people who define UBC Sauder. Thanks to the talents of our faculty, we’re known as a world-leading research institution. We’re providing transformative opportunities to our students and equipping them with a global outlook. We’re creating partnerships across the university to offer interdisciplinary programs. Our students, faculty and staff are working collaboratively to create a respectful and inclusive environment supported by highly engaged alumni and community partners.

We’re making progress towards meaningful reconciliation and consciously building a greater Indigenous presence at the school. By leveraging our strengths, we’ve established an international reputation for innovation and social responsibility. All of this while successfully navigating COVID-19 where we moved our entire educational delivery model online and still provided students with an exceptional learning experience and kept our staff teams running at full capacity.

Revolutionizing the future of business education As I look ahead, I see a new building that will reshape the campus. A place that will bring people together to catalyze new ways of thinking, new knowledge and new solutions for society. A new home for our graduate school where this incredible community can continue to collaborate, innovate and learn together. We call it the Powerhouse Project, and at heart, it’s where this community will continue to flourish and have a positive impact on society.

I thank you all for being a part of this incredible journey. It is because of your dedication and talent that UBC Sauder is well positioned to lead the way to a brighter, more equitable future.

Dr. Robert Helsley, Dean, UBC Sauder School of Business, Grosvenor Professor of Cities, Business Economics and Public Policy

“By leveraging our assets in research and teaching, we’ve established an international reputation for innovation and social responsibility.”

Advancing our purpose

A snapshot of our evolving programs

Global academic partnerships, global outlook

Tremendous growth across our school has been rooted in interfaculty collaboration, expansion and building our national and international impact. Here are some highlights:

We’re building our network across borders to gain perspectives and share knowledge.

New programs to address new market needs

In 2015, UBC Sauder joined GNAM, a prestigious global network of graduate schools. As part of our participation, the school delivered a GNAM course called “Urban resilience: Complexity, collaborative structures, and leading change” that focuses on helping cities adapt to climate change and other socioeconomic factors.

New programs were introduced to reflect what students want today: flexibility, relevance and the right skills to build their careers.

• Where passion meets profession the Bachelor + Master of Management Dual Degree, which enables students to combine a subject they are passionate about with a UBC Sauder postgraduate business qualification.

• Accelerating careers The new Professional MBA has a flexible 24-month curriculum for gaining business acumen and leadership skills while keeping career momentum. Applications have more than doubled since launching the PMBA in 2017.

• Transforming decision-making The Master of Business Analytics, a new nine-month curriculum equips students with competencies and tools for data-driven decision-making.

• Developing lifelong learners Continuing Business Studies, established in 2017, delivers applied skills for those early on in their careers, and complements Executive Education programs for managers and senior leaders.

• Expanding our reach in real estate We’ve expanded our licensing course to Saskatchewan, created a new program for condominium managers in Alberta and built new partnerships with Mortgage Professionals Canada.

Interdisciplinary collaborations Since 2013, UBC Sauder students have tested and incubated their early-stage ventures with peers across the university via e@UBC.
