The Dean’s Message

As we wrap up the fall term, I’m pleased to highlight the remarkable work happening across the Longo Faculty of Business as students continue to apply their creativity and collaboration skills to real-world challenges.

Innovation at The Longo Centre for Entrepreneurship. (CfE) stood out this semester. Students showcased design thinking through the Institute of Innovation and Advanced Learning (IIAL) Brand Challenge and worked with peers from TU Dublin in the Grounds for Change Sustainability Hackathon to reimagine more welcoming urban spaces. Together, these initiatives show how students bring bold ideas forward with purpose and impact.

Experiential learning also took front and centre stage in Sport Management as Sport Week transformed the classroom into a hands-on environment. Students led events, engaged with employers, connected with alumni, and explored the future of community sport at the Toronto Sport Summit. It was a strong example of how applied learning helps students build confidence and industry-ready experience.

These achievements reflect the dedication of our students, faculty, and partners who champion experiential learning each semester. As we move into a new term, I look forward to seeing how these experiences inspire the next wave of innovation and leadership.
