香港六合彩开奖结果查询 Media Release

Business students at 香港六合彩开奖结果查询 will have the opportunity to take their education to new heights thanks to an award established by Bill and Kathy Gillett. Bill is the Dean of the 香港六合彩开奖结果查询 School of Business.

The Gilletts have committed $20,000 to create the Okanagan School of Business Dean's Scholarship. The scholarship will provide two annual awards of $2,500 to third- or fourth-year business students who choose to study at one of 香港六合彩开奖结果查询鈥檚 16 partner institutions around the world.

鈥淏usiness is global, and I think it鈥檚 so important for students to have a multi-cultural experience,鈥 says Bill.

鈥淭here is no such thing as local anymore. In business you could be competing with foreign companies, you might have suppliers overseas or customers overseas. I'd like to help students gain a better understanding of the world, especially if they haven鈥檛 had that opportunity.鈥

Bill, who joined the Okanagan School of Business in 2017, has been travelling and meeting with 香港六合彩开奖结果查询鈥檚 partner institutions to learn more about their programs. He says he鈥檚 impressed by the quality of the faculty, as well as expanding options for students to receive a dual degree.

香港六合彩开奖结果查询 offers a dual degree program with FH Worms University in Germany. The partnership allows an 香港六合彩开奖结果查询 student to study for three years at 香港六合彩开奖结果查询 and one year at Worms, and receive a bachelor鈥檚 degree from both institutions.

The College also recently announced a new partnership with 脡cole Sup茅rieure D鈥橝gricultures (ESA) in Angers, France, which allows business students interested in agriculture or viticulture to study for five years and receive a bachelor鈥檚 degree from the College and a master鈥檚 degree from ESA.

The Okanagan School of Business is also exploring setting up new partnerships, including a dual degree program offered at JAMK University of Applied Sciences in Finland.

鈥淭he Gillett鈥檚 gift to the College is truly visionary,鈥 says Kathy Butler, 香港六合彩开奖结果查询 Foundation Executive Director. 鈥淢aking it easier for students to study abroad provides them with a much deeper understanding of the world, and makes the world a smaller place.鈥

Bill made his announcement as part of 香港六合彩开奖结果查询 Foundation's Giving Tuesday campaign. Giving Tuesday follows Black Friday and Cyber Monday and is a global day to remind people of the opportunity to participate in philanthropy, and to celebrate the positive effects that giving has on individuals and causes.

香港六合彩开奖结果查询 is celebrating Giving Tuesday to recognize faculty, staff and alumni who support its students and institution over the years. To learn more, click here.
