Expert in Residence

The Sobey School of Business “Expert in Residence” program builds on the School’s proud tradition of fostering strong connections with alumni and the broader community. At its core, the program is designed to leverage the power of knowledge mobilization, bringing alumni, business leaders, and community influencers into direct, meaningful engagement with our students and faculty. Through these collaborations, we create a vibrant space for experiential learning, and impactful, action-oriented research.

In alignment with our strategic plan, this program helps us strengthen ties between the Sobey School and the business community through engaging prominent business leaders in Canada with Sobey students, faculty, and alumni. We aim to enhance experiential learning and to promote knowledge mobilization from practice to academia. 

This program is designed to create stronger connections between Sobey School of Business (SSB) alumni, students, and faculty, enriching students' experiential learning and driving impactful, action-oriented research for our faculty. Additionally, it aims to foster greater collaboration and synergy between the Sobey School of Business and its alumni network, encouraging deeper involvement of both students and faculty with our vibrant alumni community.

This program seeks to mobilize the extensive business expertise within the Sobey School to help emerging entrepreneurs and local business owners refine their operations, strategies, and services, while also encouraging Sobey faculty to become more actively engaged with the local business community.
