Distinguished Teaching Award in Faculty of Management (Graduate)

Learning has to be equal parts challenge, relevance, applicability and fun — retention works better that way. This was conveyed to me by the late McGill management professor Roger Bennett.

I was inspired by watching some of the teachers I admired help their students by exposing them to a variety of ideas, allowing them to make well-informed choices for their future vocation(s).

I have a number of favorite classes, but they all have a common denominator: working with a learning team that wants to push the envelope.
