Prof. Morty Yalovsky started teaching at McGill in 1969 - the same year that the Montreal Expos played their first Major League Baseball game. The Expos moved on nearly two decades ago, but Prof. Yalovsky has been enriching university life ever since. On March 28, he was honoured with a Desautels Lifetime Service Award for more than five decades of service to the Desautels Faculty of Management.
Professor Robert David has been appointed Vice-Dean (Faculty) of the Desautels Faculty of Management at McGill University.
After five years at the helm of the Desautels Faculty of Management, Isabelle Bajeux-Besnainou has been appointed the new Dean of Carnegie Mellon University’s Tepper School of Business. Dean Bajeux-Besnainou will end her second term as Dean in October 2020.
Fifty years ago, McGill had the good fortune of welcoming Professors Henry Mintzberg and Morty Yalovsky on board.
On August 30, members of the McGill community, along with family and friends, celebrated their contributions by establishing two teaching awards in their honour.
