“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 specific 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.”

Dezsö J. Horváth, PhD, CM dean & Tanna h. Schulich Chair in Strategic Management, Schulich School of Business

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 benefit from powerful collaborative learning and research experiences, we will deliver practical solutions to reallife 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 implications for 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 fields of management thinking where Schulich really excels. our School is a globally recognized leader in the field 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, first-rate research that is influencing 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.

We are Leading Change through Campus Expansion On September 30th, 2016, the School broke ground on the construction of a three-storey, 67,000-square-foot Graduate Study and Research Building, part of the Schulich School of Business Complex on York’s Keele campus that includes the Seymour Schulich Building and Executive Learning Centre.

The building will be a hub of discovery for students, faculty, alumni, researchers, stakeholders and partners.

Our new home for research and graduate study Modern learning spaces for modern learning With one 112-seat and two 60-seat flat-floor classrooms, 10 breakout rooms and multiple seminar and meeting rooms, the School’s new building will enable greater interaction, teamwork and collaboration.

The greatest discoveries come from collaboration The second and third floors of the new Schulich building will support collaboration, brainstorming and innovative work methods through research laboratories dedicated to real estate and infrastructure, global enterprise, responsible business and business analytics.

Support students where they’re best equipped to succeed Inspired by research that confirms more learning takes place outside the classroom than within, the Graduate Study and Research Building will feature graduate student lounges and collaborative work areas to support Schulich’s team-based curriculum.

Reflect Schulich’s commitment to innovation and sustainability Schulich’s newest facility will be the most sustainable building on campus and among Canada’s most innovative, with a signature 27-metre-high solar chimney to maximize natural ventilation; utilization of Thermally Active Building Design (TABS) principles; high performance materials throughout; and multiple green roofs.

We are Leading Change through research & 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.

CENTRES OF EXCELLENCE 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.

We are Leading Change through student success

Diversity and leadership are hallmarks of Schulich’s student body.

Attracting the best students and educating them to become world leaders is a priority of Schulich and key to our ability to maintain a competitive advantage. A substantial increase in philanthropy is essential to ensure we can recruit the best students, who will become leaders in their field.

TALENTED STUDENTS Student Scholarships Investments in student scholarships have already helped countless Schulich students succeed, including a significant number of students who were the first in their families to attend university.

Our Leading Change campaign goal is to ensure financial 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.
