On Mar. 21, the Dhillon School of Business at the University of Lethbridge will mark 40 years of Indigenous business management education with a full-day event.
Since launching Canada’s first university program focused on Indigenous economic development, governance and business management in 1985, the school has been a leader in advancing Indigenous business education in Canada.
“I’m extremely proud of our school’s legacy, as we continue to walk the path of reconciliation through education,” says Dr. Kerry Godfrey, dean of the Dhillon School of Business.
In celebration of this significant milestone alumni, students, community members and business leaders are invited to participate in the celebration.
There will be a keynote address from Jennifer Campeau, who is the vice-president of Indigenous Relations at Aecon Group Inc. She will present, Take the Risk: Realize Your Potential.
The event will also feature insightful panel discussions with Indigenous alumni, leaders and entrepreneurs, including trailblazing Indigenous women in business and those working at the intersection of education, governance and economic development.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to hear from respected speakers, including Dr. Leroy Little Bear, whose wisdom and leadership continue to inspire Indigenous education across Canada.
