Nearly 300 students in the Commerce, MBA, and Accelerated MBA programs attended the 6th Annual CSR/Responsible Leadership Weekend in October. Hosted by the Queen’s School of Business Centre for Responsible Leadership (CRL), the event exposes students enrolled in its certificate programs to a diverse line-up of speakers. The topics cover a wide range of some of the tough issues students will face as future leaders.

At the weekend’s kick-off, Dean David Saunders announced a new partnership between the CRL and KPMG. KPMG will work closely with the Centre on initiatives in the area of responsible leadership. “We are absolutely thrilled to have KPMG as our signature sponsor,” says Centre Director Tina Dacin. “This funding will enable the Centre to engage in a number of exciting new initiatives, including exploring opportunities for new global internship programs for our students.”
