David Sculthorpe, BCom’83, and past Chair of QSB’s Advisory Board, spoke at the ceremony for Commerce graduates and offered examples of some of the life-changing decisions he made that didn’t always follow conventional wisdom.

Don Bayne, (BA’66, LLB’69, LLM’74, EMBA’01) spoke at the ceremony for graduates of the Executive and Cornell-Queens MBA programs. He highlighted the lasting effects of his own MBA experiences and encouraged the graduates to make the most of opportunities that often occur during economic downturns.
