Daphne Taras

Dean, Ted Rogers School of Management

When I arrived at the Ted Rogers School of Management as Dean some five years ago, one of the first things I did was reintroduce the practice of putting out a faculty-wide annual report. As a newcomer to this place, I felt it was important for one main reason – the accomplishments of our faculty, alumni, students and staff far exceed our reputation. My own pride in joining this community compelled me to close the gap between what you do and what the rest of the world knows about what you do.

Each year, these reports have shared and measured and catalogued our success – whether it was seeing our MBA program rankings or research outputs rise, the recognition of our faculty for teaching excellence among their peers, the postgraduate professional accomplishments of our alumni, the leadership of our donors and partners or the energy and tenacity and caring of our students. Combined, our annual reports have become a chronicle of collective achievement against the odds, in challenging times.

As I approach the end of my tenure as Dean, I know I will treasure these reports for the story they tell about a generous, wise and supportive community of excellence and they will forever fill me with pride. As part of our community, I hope they do the same for you.

Our 2022 Report highlights some of the stories and successes of Ted Rogers School’s faculty, students, staff and alumni. The content of the report is tied together by three themes: Explore, Experience and Excel.
