Celebrating 40 years of Indigenous business management education

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.
