Michael Zinay, EMBA, Artsci'76, writes that “like the song lyrics ‘it was 20 years ago today…’ Well, it [was] at the end of May. Entering the program in September '97, my thinking was focused on an academic tune-up, then resuming my real estate practice in Montreal.” But, he continues, “a tipping-point moment ensued after graduation” leading Michael to launch two startups: ClearPoint Medical Compression Wear and Carole Martin Comfort Wear. He says he’s now moving to Kingston with a new build on a property in the city’s east end.
