Impact Report

Dean's reflection

This has been a remarkable year at the Ted Rogers School of Management, filled with significant achievements and growth. I want to extend my sincere thanks to our alumni and donors for your continued support. Your generosity plays a vital role in shaping the future of our school.

This past year, we made significant progress in advancing our school’s goals around student success, community and engagement and research and innovation. One of the accomplishments I am most proud of is the launch of our new Strategic Plan, a bold and ambitious roadmap that reflects our core values, aspirations and long-term commitment to impact.

Thanks to your support, we are already seeing momentum with many of our goals. From enhancing the student experience to advancing cutting-edge research and innovation, your contributions are making a tangible difference.

We also launched two new research institutes that speak directly to our strategic priorities: the Institute for Sustainable Practices in Research and Enterprise (INSPIRE), which is focused on responsible innovation and sustainable research practices, and the Operations & Supply Chain Analytics Research (OSCAR) Centre, dedicated to advancing the fields of operations and supply chain management through innovative research.

To our many donors, alumni and friends, thank you for making this progress possible. I look forward to staying connected in the year ahead and sharing more about how, together, we are shaping what’s next for the Ted Rogers School.

Warm regards,

Dr. Cynthia Holmes
Dean, Ted Rogers School of Management
