‘It just makes good business sense’ for Sauder School of Business, associate dean says
VANCOUVER — A major culture shift is afoot at the University of B.C.’s Sauder School of Business.
Amie Wolf, an aboriginal woman from Fort Saskatchewan, Alta., is one of the most recent hires at Sauder, brought on to help develop an ambitious and far-reaching First Nations curriculum that will be embedded into the learning of every student accepted into the business school.
Wolf’s task is straightforward — sensitize students to the legacy of residential schools in B.C., the economic barriers facing some First Nations, and the way to do business with them, practically and respectfully.
