Professor Tasha Richard
I particularly love teaching innovation and entrepreneurship at our Agriculture campus because of the motivation I see in my students to create a more sustainable future on our planet.
Meet Professor Tasha Richard, a member of the Faculty of Agriculture and professor for MGTA 2013 Introduction to Business Planning and MGTA 4001 Advanced Entrepreneurship.
Dr. Jenny Baechler
I hope that students not only see the relevance of innovation and entrepreneurship skills to their academic program of study, but also the tremendous value it offers to the pursuit of their career aspirations.
Meet Dr. Jenny Baechler, a member of the Faculty of Management, Academic Lead for the Minor in Entrepreneurship and Innovation, and professor for MGMT 2902.03 Innovation: An Introduction to Design Thinking
Dr. David Roach
My favourite quote is that “a poor innovation concept can rarely be converted into a successful product or service”. This is why innovation is like baseball…if you’re hitting 0.300 (i.e. 30%), you’re a superstar! Superstars are not only talented, but are 100% focused on the process rather than the activity.
Meet Dr. David Roach, a member of the Faculty of Management, and professor for MGMT 4901, the capstone course for the Minor in Entrepreneurship & Innovation.
