Momentum: Moving Forward Together

For the DeGroote School of Business, 2021 was defined by our momentum.

Our students, staff, faculty, alumni, and industry partners did more than just navigate a period of global transition. We made significant progress toward our strategic priorities. And we did it during one of the most difficult periods in recent history.  

The central theme of this year’s Annual Report is Momentum – building, transition, and growth can be clearly seen throughout the Annual Report through student perspectives, alumni stories, innovative research, and corporate partnerships. 

DeGroote’s 2021 Annual Report shares highlights of our collective accomplishments and reflects the community’s drive toward our goals.
