Spotted in The PATH 👀

Acting Dean Nicole Haggerty took this selfie after spotting one of Ivey's new brand campaign ads in downtown Toronto.

Earlier this month, we launched an exciting new brand campaign promoting our degree programs, Ivey Publishing, and Ivey Business School Executive Education. You'll find it online and on digital screens in Toronto.

The message is simple and timely:

"Getting answers is easy. Asking the right questions is hard. Now more than ever, the case for leadership is clear."

In an era where data is infinite and AI can generate answers in seconds, the true differentiator in business is no longer information – it is human judgment. At Ivey, we don't just teach you what to think; we train you how to decide.

Most university chairs in AI sit in computer science departments. Richard Ivey, HBA ’72, LLD ’13, thinks that’s a problem, and he’s putting $5 million behind a different approach.

His gift establishes the Richard W. Ivey Family Chair in AI in Business at Ivey Business School. Combined with $2.5 million through the Dean’s Chair Match program, the total investment reaches $7.5 million, funding the Chair plus related research, teaching, and learning-innovation initiatives.

“AI is going to impact the entire world for better or worse, and a big chunk of that will be business. Business education needs to reflect that.” – Richard Ivey

Acting Dean Nicole Haggerty says the gift will help Ivey deepen research in AI in business, accelerate classroom innovation, and strengthen the School’s position as a global leader in experiential, technology-enabled learning.

Richard Ivey believes the School’s case-method learning and experiential approach are especially valuable right now. They ask students to work through ambiguity, defend positions, and build judgment in real time. Those capabilities, he says, matter more, not less in an AI era.

09/30/2026

Today, September 30, we observe National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (NDTR). Established as an official holiday in 2021 in response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Calls to Action, NDTR honours the children who never made it home and the Survivors of residential schools. It also raises awareness about the intergenerational impacts these experiences continue to have on their families and communities.

This day was originally recognized as Orange Shirt Day, an Indigenous-led grassroots initiative inspired by the experiences of residential school survivor Phyllis Webstad.

In 1973, six-year-old Phyllis arrived at the St. Joseph Mission Residential School, wearing a new orange shirt for her first day. Unfortunately, the school took her shirt away, replacing it with their institutional uniform.

To commemorate the resilience of the children who survived residential schools, and to remember those who did not, we encourage everyone to wear orange today.

🧡 All are welcome to attend Transforming Insight Into Impact: Advancing Indigenous Health Equity, an interactive space centring Indigenous voices and Survivors, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Ronald D. Schmeichel Building for Entrepreneurship and Innovation - SEI 1110.

While NDTR is observed annually on one day, the work of Truth and Reconciliation must be embraced daily to foster meaningful and lasting change.

Flags are lowered today at Alumni Circle in observance of NDTR. UC Tower, Brescia Tower and Alumni Hall are illuminated in orange until October 2 to recognize this important day. For more resources, visit: https://indigenous.uwo.ca/truth-and-reconciliation/index.html

What started as an Ivey student trip to Tanzania has grown into a student-led scholarship fund supporting university students in East Africa.

In 2024, Coby Harvey, HBA ’26, and Elizabeth Shewchuk, HBA ’25, travelled to Tanzania through Ivey’s Service Learning in Africa course. Their cohort raised money to support local schools and began exploring how they could help make university education more accessible to Tanzanian students.

Two years later, the initiative has become the Twende Education Fund, which has awarded its first four full, three-year university scholarships to Tanzanian students – and expanded its work to support students with disabilities in Kenya.

This summer, Avery Bailey, Jayden Xiao, Nate Verhulst, Pavlos Bousalis, Nisa Qureshi and Jiya Mooljee, all HBA ’27 candidates, were part of the cohort that travelled to Tanzania to teach business classes at St. Augustine University of Tanzania (SAUT). They also helped bring the Twende scholarship program to life, working with SAUT on student selection and tuition disbursement.

Read both stories to learn how one cohort’s initiative has been carried forward by the students who followed, and how Service Learning in Africa continues to create opportunities for learning, teaching, and giving back.

Nearly 3 in 4 women say they’re unhappy with how the financial services industry treats them. New research from Ivey suggests it’s not a service problem – it’s a design problem.

In a commentary in the Journal of Public Policy & Marketing, Ivey marketing faculty Miranda Goode and June Cotte, together with Ivey alum and Untangle Money CEO Kristine Beese, MBA ’10, unpack why women remain underserved in financial planning, and what it costs them.

In this video, Goode explains what they’ve uncovered, and what inclusion can look like.

But the work doesn’t end there…

Today, the team, along with Ivey PhD candidate Queenie Zhu and marketing faculty Mike Moorhouse of the Lazaridis School of Business & Economics at Wilfrid Laurier University, is launching a nationwide online study on women’s financial planning. Funded by SSHRC, the study will explore whether different approaches to financial advice can better support women and help close the wealth gap.

Answering that question starts with understanding women’s experiences firsthand.

💬 “We’re looking for hundreds of women across Canada to join the study and share their financial experiences. We can’t build better financial services for women without listening to women themselves." – Miranda Goode

*The Financial Planning for Women study is open to women aged 25-54 across Canada who have regular, full-time, or continuous access to income, are able to set aside some money each month to save or invest, and have regular internet access.

💬 "It wasn't my circumstances that changed; it was my perception of my circumstances."

Motivational speaker, filmmaker, and health-policy consultant Chris Cull Cull shared his inspiring story with HBA1 students at HBA Leadership Day, hosted by the Ian O. Ihnatowycz Institute for Leadership. The annual event encourages students to think about leadership through the lens of character, resilience, and judgement.

After losing much of his 20s to opioid addiction, Cull rebuilt his life — cycling across Canada twice, producing the documentary "Inspire," and advising organizations including the World Health Organization, Ontario Health, and the United Nations. His message to students: resilience comes from facing hard things directly, and "building relationships can open doors that skills alone can't."

Following Cull's keynote address, students learned from a leadership panel who shared lessons on courage, patience, humility, and authenticity. Thank you to Jeannine Pereira, HBA '95, Luke Schauerte, Franca Gucciardi, and Kathy Woods for sharing their experiences and advice.

💬 "I walked in as an educator and walked out as a student." - Ryan Doerr, HBA '27 candidate, on his LEADER Project experience in North Macedonia.

Each spring, The LEADER Project sends Ivey students abroad to emerging markets to teach entrepreneurship. This year, 33 students and six alumni worked at sites in eight countries: India, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, Thailand, Vietnam, Uzbekistan, and for the first time, Kenya.

Since 1991, more than 1,200 LEADERites have reached over 10,000 entrepreneurs across 23 countries.

The experiences pushes Ivey students to adjust what they know to the context in front of them and to learn from the communities they're working in. The result is a two-way exchange: local entrepreneurs gain practical tools and frameworks, while Ivey students learn how to listen, adapt, and lead in unfamiliar environments.

💬 "Our students do not go to these countries thinking we know these things, so we are going to teach these things to these people. They usually go to those countries with a really open mind.” - Dominic S. Lim, PhD '09, Associate Professor of Entrepreneurship at Ivey and LEADER's faculty adviser.

Hear from Maggie Kortekaas, MBA '26, Bob Deng, MBA '26, and Tolu Michaels, MBA '26, and HBA '27 candidates Laura Guo, Ryan Doerr, and Eva Karpukhina about what it's like to prepare for months, adapt in the moment, and learn as much as they teach.
