THREE FACULTY MEMBERS RECEIVED THE PRESIDENT’S 2023 MEDIA OUTREACH AWARDSOur Faculty was well represented and celebrated by Concordia’s University Communications Services during an event held on February 26 where President Carr recognized the media impact of three members of our School. I would like to personally congratulate and thank the following winners for representing John Molson on the world stage so well. Associate professor in accountancy, Claudine Mangen, wrote regularly in La Conversation about the impact of the pandemic on women’s ability to continue the career progression they had fought so hard for in the past three to four decades. PhD student Hossein Azarpanah (lead author on a paper about cognitive biases and vaccine hesitancy) and his co-authors, assistant professor Mohsen Farhadloo and professor Rustam Vahidov, all from the SCBTM department, were honoured for the media exposure garnered by their published research. The media coverage grabbed headlines in media outlets across Canada and around the globe. Félicitations ! |

| ARGUS training workshop |
JONATHAN WENER CENTRE FOR REAL ESTATE HOSTED ARGUS CERTIFICATION TRAINING WORKSHOPFrom February 28 to March 1, 24 of our undergraduate real estate students attended the ARGUS Certification Training Workshop held by the Jonathan Wener Centre for Real Estate. ARGUS is a software which is used by all major Canadian real estate companies, and knowing how to navigate it will differentiate John Molson students as they enter the workforce. More significantly, we are the first Canadian University to offer this training. Thank you to Michel Deslauriers for making this workshop happen, and for creating this competitive advantage for our students. NEW STAFF MEMBERSJeremi Harrison-Lalande joined John Molson as Officer, Recruitment and Retention, Undergraduate Programs on February 15, 2023. He fills the big shoes of Cavan Riordan who took on his role on the Graduate recruitment team back in August 2022. Daisy Chung joined the faculty as Administrative Assistant, Faculty Relations on March 13, 2023, and replaced Selina Leone, who has joined the Math and Stats department at the Faculty of Arts and Science. I’d like to thank Selina for her contributions to our faculty and wish her success in her new role. I’m pleased to share that Taylor Tower will be taking on the role of Communications Manager at the John Molson School of Business as of April 3. Taylor has been with Concordia since 2018 in the Faculty of Arts and Science where she developed the very first social media strategy for the Faculty, introducing two new platforms — LinkedIn and Instagram — to reach audiences that had yet to be tapped. She also launched and led the rebrand of Réussir en français, Concordia’s French-language learning hub. Please join me in welcoming Taylor and in wishing her success here at John Molson. I would also like to thank Elena Parial for her support over the past many months. It was a pleasure working with her, a proud alumna of our MBA program, who stepped up to the plate by facilitating our communications efforts at JMSB. John Molson is not the first unit at Concordia to benefit from Elena's communications expertise, and we won't be the last. |
