Our People
Our value and responsibility to business and society are to foster new knowledge that is significant today and tomorrow.
Inspire. Impact. Transform. More than a tagline; it reflects our mission, vision, and values. While we instill a sense of purpose in our graduates, we also have a collective purpose of helping change business and society.
DeGroote produces innovative programs and research that enable our graduates to excel in the fast-paced world. As dean, I am proud of the history of innovation at DeGroote and look forward to our future.
