Congratulations to our Ivey MSc students on raising $5,162 for four London, Ontario nonprofits through the inaugural 5K4Good run/walk!

The event grew out of the Ivey Digital Innovation Studio, where Ivey MSc: Digital Management students partnered with local nonprofits to build agentic AI solutions supporting their work. After the projects, the students wanted to keep supporting the organizations, leading to the 5K. It helped keep the momentum going while raising awareness for their impact in the community.

On Sunday, October 4, more than 100 runners and walkers gathered at Gibbons Park. It was rainy, but energy stayed high.

All proceeds were split between:
▪️Youth Opportunities Unlimited (YOU)
▪️BGC London
▪️Alzheimer Society Southwest Partners
▪️United Way Elgin Middlesex

Thank you to the 17 sponsors who backed this first-year event, the nonprofit partners, volunteers and the student organizing team (led by Tiana Lee and Matthew Josephson, both Ivey MSc '26 candidates) for making it happen.

What does a semester abroad teach you about work, rest, and home?

For Sherry Shu, HBA '26, a term on exchange at the NHH Norwegian School of Economics in Bergen reshaped how she thinks about productivity, nature and what makes Canada, Canada.

In a blog, she reflects on three lessons from her time in Norway:
▪️Building joy into the workday. Norway's work culture puts an emphasis on relaxation and joy. This experience reminded Sherry to make time for fun and rest while doing important work.
▪️Friluftsliv, or "open-air living." Sherry was encouraged by this concept and plans to continue making time for taking walks and reclaiming the calm she found in Norway's wilderness.
▪️A new appreciation for home. "Our clichéd 'diversity is our strength' mantra rings true, and it took going to Norway for me to remember just how unique Canada is in the world."

We’re pleased to introduce Character-Driven Leadership – a new free, self-paced online course from Ivey’s Ian O. Ihnatowycz Institute for Leadership in partnership with BMO.

We celebrated the launch last night with a special event bringing together Ivey faculty and staff, BMO leaders, and members of the community the course is built to serve.

The course is built for a specific and sometimes overlooked audience: leaders of small and medium-sized enterprises, not-for-profits, charities, and community organizations. These leaders make consequential calls every day, often without the resources or support systems available at larger organizations.

It is made up of ten short modules that translate more than 15 years of research into practical tools leaders can apply immediately, with perspectives from BMO executives and community leaders.

💬 "Ivey expanded the way I think. My network grew tremendously, and so did my confidence, but what stayed with me most was the opportunity to see how leaders from very different industries, organizations, cultures, and backgrounds actually think."

Meet Manzarul Alam, EMBA '26. Manzarul's career has taken him from Dhaka to Bangkok to Toronto, and through more than a decade in apparel manufacturing, logistics, and operations along the way.

He chose Ivey's Executive MBA for the case method and the alumni community, and credits the program with giving him a greater appreciation for curiosity, judgment, and the willingness to reconsider his own assumptions.

Spotted in The PATH 👀

Acting Dean Nicole Haggerty took this selfie after spotting one of Ivey's new brand campaign ads in downtown Toronto.

Earlier this month, we launched an exciting new brand campaign promoting our degree programs, Ivey Publishing, and Ivey Business School Executive Education. You'll find it online and on digital screens in Toronto.

The message is simple and timely:

"Getting answers is easy. Asking the right questions is hard. Now more than ever, the case for leadership is clear."

In an era where data is infinite and AI can generate answers in seconds, the true differentiator in business is no longer information – it is human judgment. At Ivey, we don't just teach you what to think; we train you how to decide.

Most university chairs in AI sit in computer science departments. Richard Ivey, HBA ’72, LLD ’13, thinks that’s a problem, and he’s putting $5 million behind a different approach.

His gift establishes the Richard W. Ivey Family Chair in AI in Business at Ivey Business School. Combined with $2.5 million through the Dean’s Chair Match program, the total investment reaches $7.5 million, funding the Chair plus related research, teaching, and learning-innovation initiatives.

“AI is going to impact the entire world for better or worse, and a big chunk of that will be business. Business education needs to reflect that.” – Richard Ivey

Acting Dean Nicole Haggerty says the gift will help Ivey deepen research in AI in business, accelerate classroom innovation, and strengthen the School’s position as a global leader in experiential, technology-enabled learning.

Richard Ivey believes the School’s case-method learning and experiential approach are especially valuable right now. They ask students to work through ambiguity, defend positions, and build judgment in real time. Those capabilities, he says, matter more, not less in an AI era.

Today, September 30, we observe National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (NDTR). Established as an official holiday in 2021 in response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Calls to Action, NDTR honours the children who never made it home and the Survivors of residential schools. It also raises awareness about the intergenerational impacts these experiences continue to have on their families and communities.

This day was originally recognized as Orange Shirt Day, an Indigenous-led grassroots initiative inspired by the experiences of residential school survivor Phyllis Webstad.

In 1973, six-year-old Phyllis arrived at the St. Joseph Mission Residential School, wearing a new orange shirt for her first day. Unfortunately, the school took her shirt away, replacing it with their institutional uniform.

To commemorate the resilience of the children who survived residential schools, and to remember those who did not, we encourage everyone to wear orange today.

🧡 All are welcome to attend Transforming Insight Into Impact: Advancing Indigenous Health Equity, an interactive space centring Indigenous voices and Survivors, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Ronald D. Schmeichel Building for Entrepreneurship and Innovation - SEI 1110.

While NDTR is observed annually on one day, the work of Truth and Reconciliation must be embraced daily to foster meaningful and lasting change.

Flags are lowered today at Alumni Circle in observance of NDTR. UC Tower, Brescia Tower and Alumni Hall are illuminated in orange until October 2 to recognize this important day. For more resources, visit: https://indigenous.uwo.ca/truth-and-reconciliation/index.html
