Schulich School of Business


The Schulich Business Excellence Academy is a summer business education and mentorship program supporting approximately 60 high school students in the GTA entering Grades 10, 11 and 12 in the Fall who self-identify from equity-deserving groups including Black, Indigenous and people of colour (BIPOC), 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals and people with disabilities. The sessions will be held virtually and will consist of a series of lectures and group-based activities, capping off with an in-person case competition and a dinner event at the York University - Keele Campus. The SBEA program will be delivered by a range of prominent guest speakers from the community as well as Schulich Faculty and will commence on July 8, 2024. Sessions will run Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings from 6:30-8:30pm for three weeks concluding July 25, 2024.
