Still, you can take steps to ensure your own credit score is good. “Make loan payments on time and keep credit card records in good standing,” <a href="/desautels/patrick-augustin"><strong>Prof. Patrick Augustin</strong> </a>told Consumer Affairs. “Credit card debt should be paid in full when it is due, and shouldn’t be too high relative to disposable income.</p> Fri, 21 Feb 2025 16:40:47 +0000 admin 141316 at /dobson /dobson/channels/news/canadian-steel-and-aluminum-producers-still-heavily-reliant-us-buyers-363802 <p>During the first Trump administration, the US imposed tariffs on steel and aluminum. And though those tariffs were lifted, they’re doing it again. Even though Canadian producers had more than four years to diversify their clientele, they remain heavily reliant on the US market.</p> Fri, 21 Feb 2025 16:42:49 +0000 admin 141315 at /dobson /dobson/channels/event/mba-online-info-session-thursday-march-13-2025-363803 <p>Join us for a şÚÁϲ»´ňěČ MBA information session, where you'll gain an in-depth understanding of the MBA curriculum, faculty expertise, and the unique features that set our program apart.</p> Fri, 21 Feb 2025 16:50:26 +0000 admin 141313 at /dobson /dobson/channels/event/mba-online-info-session-thursday-april-10-2025-363804 <p>Join us for a şÚÁϲ»´ňěČ MBA information session, where you'll gain an in-depth understanding of the MBA curriculum, faculty expertise, and the unique features that set our program apart.</p> Fri, 21 Feb 2025 16:50:28 +0000 admin 141314 at /dobson /dobson/channels/news/us-steel-and-aluminum-tariffs-could-stifle-investment-quebec-aluminum-sector-363799 <p>Aluminum-producing towns in Quebec are bracing for the impact of new US tariffs imposed on steel and aluminum. Quebec accounts for about 90 per cent of Canada’s aluminum production, and the tariffs will affect more than just aluminum producers. “The tariffs may not lead to layoffs at aluminum plants,” said Professor of Operations Management<a href="/desautels/saibal-ray"><strong> Saibal Ray </strong></a>in an interview with Global News. “But tariffs could lead to companies making investments into the U.S.</p> Fri, 21 Feb 2025 16:36:53 +0000 admin 141318 at /dobson /dobson/channels/news/us-steel-and-aluminum-tariffs-will-hurt-aluminum-dependant-towns-quebec-363800 <p>Imposing a 25% tariff on steel and aluminum could disrupt supply chains and drive up prices for everything from auto parts to canned goods. But for some towns in Quebec, the impact could be even more disruptive. The aluminum sector employs more than 40,000 people in Quebec, and the economies of some small towns are almost entirely reliant on aluminum production. And the sweeping nature of the steel and aluminum tariffs imposed by the Trump administration will make it difficult to find new buyers for Quebec aluminum.</p> Fri, 21 Feb 2025 16:39:01 +0000 admin 141317 at /dobson /dobson/channels/event/online-info-session-graduate-certificate-healthcare-management-gchm-363797 <p>Join us for an online information session to learn about the Graduate Certificate in Healthcare Management at the Desautels Faculty of Management and Medicine and Health Sciences, şÚÁϲ»´ňěČ University.</p> Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:29:21 +0000 admin 141312 at /dobson /dobson/channels/event/desmarais-global-finance-research-centre-dgfrc-seminar-adrien-matray-363796 <h2>Adrien Matray</h2> <h3><b>Harvard University </b></h3> <p><em><big>EXIM’s Exit: The Real Effects of Trade Financing by Export Credit Agencies</big></em></p> Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:31:19 +0000 admin 141311 at /dobson /dobson/channels/event/mma-online-information-session-thursday-may-29-2025-363735 <p>Join <a href="/desautels/shoeb-hosain">Shoeb Hosain</a>, Program Director, for a one-hour information session outlining the <strong>Master of Management in Analytics</strong> program<strong> </strong>at şÚÁϲ»´ňěČ University's Des</p> Tue, 18 Feb 2025 17:20:25 +0000 admin 141307 at /dobson /dobson/channels/event/mma-online-information-session-thursday-march-6-2025-363734 <p>Join <a href="/desautels/shoeb-hosain">Shoeb Hosain</a>, Program Director, for a one-hour information session outlining the <strong>Master of Management in Analytics</strong> program<strong> </strong>at şÚÁϲ»´ňěČ University's Des</p> Tue, 18 Feb 2025 17:20:23 +0000 admin 141306 at /dobson /dobson/channels/event/mcche-precision-convergence-webinar-series-liane-gabora-363730 <h2>The Conception and Evolution of Creative Ideas</h2> <h3>By Liane Gabora</h3> <p>University of British Columbia</p> Tue, 18 Feb 2025 16:50:32 +0000 admin 141305 at /dobson /dobson/channels/news/financial-times-global-mba-rankings-2025-363688 <p>We are proud to share our şÚÁϲ»´ňěČ Desautels MBA placed 94th globally in the prestigious 2025 Financial Times Global MBA rankings!

Born in Tahiti, the Bachelor of Commerce grad was growing disillusioned with her work at a marketing firm when a Canadian Forces recruitment advertisement caught her eye—and her imagination. But because Yao was not a citizen at the time and a job with the Forces was not in the cards. “I’d always had it in the back of my mind to become a firefighter,” she says. “I watched shows about firefighting, and it appealed to me, but it also seemed unattainable.</p> Tue, 17 Sep 2024 17:26:46 +0000 admin 141293 at /dobson
