A generous $500,000 donation from CN is the latest contribution to Simon Fraser University's Segal Graduate School of Business.
The new school will open in September 2005 in Bank of Montreal's former Vancouver regional headquarters -- a class “A” heritage building on the corner of Pender and Granville Streets.
The CN donation will fund new CN-Joseph Segal Entrepreneurship Awards for business students, as well as the naming of the CN Business Strategy Room.
“We are very proud of this association with a great North American company whose generosity will fund facilities for the development of a more sophisticated understanding of business strategy among Canada's future business leaders,” says SFU President Michael Stevenson.
“CN is proud to make this significant contribution to support SFU's vision for a graduate business school that will foster innovative MBA and PhD programming, world-class centres of business research and a commitment to community outreach,” says David McLean, Chairman of the Board of CN.
The Segal Graduate School of Business will house all of SFU's graduate business studies programs, as well as several new business and financial research centres and specially designed meeting space for downtown business education events and activities.
Canadian National Railway Company spans Canada and mid-America, from the Atlantic and Pacific oceans to the Gulf of Mexico. CN serves the ports of Vancouver, Prince Rupert, Montreal, Halifax, New Orleans, and Mobile Ala., and key cities of Toronto, Buffalo, Chicago, Detroit, Duluth, Minn./Superior, Wis., Green Bay, Wis., Minneapolis/St. Paul, Memphis, St. Louis, and Jackson, Miss., with connections to all points in North America.
