The Desautels Faculty of Management is delighted to announce that Marcel Desautels, CM, O.Ont., LLD’07, was honoured with the Friend of McGill in Toronto Award at the inaugural McGill Toronto Excellence Awards in Toronto at a special luncheon event on Thursday, June 7, 2018.
This new awards program is an exciting opportunity to showcase the outstanding accomplishments and celebrate the achievements of McGill graduates and friends of McGill in the Toronto area.
The Li Ka Shing Program in International Business provides exchange opportunities between students from McGill and Shantou universities. These learning experiences have enriched participants in innumerable ways, exposing them to cutting-edge business practices and diverse cultures.
Last March, a group comprised of Desautels students hosted the inaugural Empower McGill conference, which promoted the benefits of disability inclusion in the workforce.
Since then, the initiative has earned the first prize in the Mutual Aid, Peace and Justice category of this year’s Forces Avenir awards. With plans already underway to host another conference in January, the organizers are again looking to empower students with disabilities who are looking ahead to their future careers.
