News

The University of British Columbia Sauder School of Business has launched the Spitz Centre for Indigenous Business Education. The Spitz Centre will focus on three objectives: creating a welcoming and entrepreneurial community, empowering Indigenous student success, and strengthening economic development in Indigenous communities. Its development was supported by a $5M from alumni Warren and Maureen Spitz, who expressed their hope that the centre will be a place where “Indigenous students feel empowered to succeed and where reconciliation is not just talked about, but practiced.”
