As Rita Jabbour understands it, it’s a simple formula.
“The more school you have, the more money you make over time,” said the fourth-year history major, one of hundreds of UWindsor students touring the Continuing Education Fair in the CAW Student Centre on Tuesday.
She spoke with Chris Young, program administrator for the Odette MBA, about pursuing graduate study in business.
“It would let me take what I have learned in history and apply it to help society,” Jabbour said.
A new professor in the Odette School of Business is hoping his business acumen can help build on Windsor’s well-earned reputation for generosity and caring by bolstering the area’s non-profit sector through research and increased collaboration.
“There’s a need for a multidisciplinary approach to some of the contributions the non-profit sector is making to this community,” said Chris Fredette, who comes to UWindsor from the Sprott School of Business at Carleton University.
A new faculty member in the Odette School of Business is hoping to build on the department’s existing strengths and make it an even more research-intensive institution.
“There clearly is an intention to change the culture, and I came here with the intent to be a part of that change,” says Alan Richardson an accounting professor and the new Odette Research Chair.
Given that Gurupdesh Pandher knows a thing or two about sharing good ideas, it might be reasonable to expect that there should be some choice new ones coming out of the Odette School of Business in the not-so-distant future.
The faculty's new senior associate dean, academic, Dr. Pandher has spent a fair portion of his research time focusing on why employees of various organizations share performance improving ideas and innovation – or, as is more often the case – keep them to themselves.
