Faculty of Business and Computing

Dean's Conversations


The Dean's Conversation Series provides an interactive and dynamic platform for Faculty members to discuss important questions and significant priorities that are engaging educators today. The Faculty being composed by two schools, these conversations aim at promoting inspirational exchanges between faculty and staff having different disciplinary background. Presentations are held throughout the academic year (bi-monthly) and give attendees the opportunity to share and hear new perspectives on education.

If you have an interest in facilitating one of these conversations (see the themes below), please do not hesitate to contact us
