At the Sobey School, our vision is to lead in discovery and learning for global impact. To support that vision, the School boasts a strong and diverse faculty, comprising more than 80 professors, with 98% of them holding PhDs. Our faculty members regularly publish in leading academic and practitioner journals. Many are exploring cutting-edge and state-of the-art research topics ranging from computer-vision-aided marketing, artificial intelligence-driven data analytics, and smart financial contracting to youth mental health, sustainable business initiatives, and gender equity in business practices. Our aim is to foster an environment of intellectual discovery that inspires research excellence, encourages collaboration and serves society.
The intrinsic culture of community service that embodies our faculties’ research naturally extends to this Community Revitalization and Prosperity Network. If our research and our faculties’ expertise can make a difference in bettering our community, then we will be achieving our goal of creating impact with purpose.
