I am delighted to share our Sobey School of Business Community Report 2021—2022 with you, which highlights our projects and initiatives over the timeframe of January 2021 to April 2022. The Sobey School of Business has a proud history of excellence in business education, and the outstanding work of our faculty, staff and students makes us the business school of choice for potential students. Reading through this publication, I am sure you will see how the Sobey School of Business is making an impact with purpose.
We have continued to advance the goals of our Strategic Plan, Elevating Impact, which include research intensification, enhancement of experiential learning opportunities for our students, engagement with the community of practice, integration of sustainability and corporate social responsibility in our curriculum and instilling an entrepreneurial mindset in our graduates.
The creative and innovative spirit in the school is evident in the design of new programs and redesign of existing programs. This year we will be launching a new Executive Doctorate in Business Administration and a new Master in Business Analytics. Together with these programs that address the emerging needs in the business community to provide education that fits the current business landscape, research initiatives targeting Nova Scotia and Atlantic Canada, and events hosted to support and uplift diverse communities, the Sobey School of Business continues to play a leadership role in our region and communities. Throughout it all, we have seen and celebrated the overwhelming success of our students through the uncertain times of the COVID-19 pandemic.
