Championing the Next Generation of Business Leaders
‘Tis the season for giving and generosity of spirit runs deep among Schulich alumni. For Schulich alumni Agnes Orosz (MBA ’96) and Wojtek Niebrzydowski (MBA ’86), supporting Schulich and championing student success speak to their passion for education and giving back to the community: “In this complex and challenging world, it is incumbent on all alumni to champion the School and to help students, whether financially, through mentoring, or some other way, so that they in turn can help others.”
Agnes and Wojtek recognize the positive difference their Schulich MBA has made in their respective careers. Paying it forward, they established the “Agnes Orosz and Wojtek Niebrzydowski MBA Entrance Award” in 2017 to recognize and provide financial assistance to Schulich MBA/IMBA students. This year, Agnes and Wojtek stepped up to support the Leading Change Campaign. A new PhD Research Office in the Rob and Cheryl McEwen Graduate Study & Research Building is named in recognition of their generosity. Agnes and Wojtek recently returned to campus and met with Dr. Eileen Fischer, Director of Schulich’s PhD Program and PhD students Qasim Saddique and Ramya Murthy. Agnes and Wojtek learned more about Schulich’s topnotch PhD program while reminiscing about their time at Schulich.
