Class of 2011 initiates MBA Oath

Queen’s MBA graduands took the MBA Oath at a ceremony in April. Modelled on the MBA Oath Project that began in 2009 at Harvard Business School, the QSB initiative was led by a group of Full-time MBA students. “The Oath is a voluntary pledge for graduating MBAs to make ethically and socially responsible decisions as we pursue business activities to generate value,” says Don Sun, MBA’11, who spearheaded the initiative with the support of the Queen’s School of Business Centre for Responsible Leadership and MBA program leadership.

A highlight of the ceremony was an address by Don Drummond (MA’77), Chief Economist of TD Bank and former federal Deputy Minister of Finance. Event organizers hope that this tradition will be adopted by future graduating MBA classes.
