Introduction

The passion and intellect of our faculty have enabled Queen's School of Business to become Canada’s premier business school and one of the best in the world. The QSB Faculty Hall of Fame will recognize the School’s most outstanding faculty whose lasting contributions in teaching, research and/or service have brought distinction and honour to the School. Inductees will be a source of inspiration to faculty, staff, students and alumni.

Inductees to the QSB Faculty Hall of Fame will have been deeply committed to achieving the School’s mission and vision:

  • Mission – We develop outstanding leaders with a global perspective, and create new knowledge that advances business and society.
  • Vision – To be one of the world's most innovative and influential business schools.

    • “Faculty” is inclusive of any rank
    • “Retired” indicates official retirement from Queen's University (applies to tenured faculty and continuing adjuncts) or former term adjuncts who have not held a contract with QSB for two years or more.
