University of Saskatchewan (Edwards School of Business )

The University of Saskatchewan (U of S) has launched a new identity for its business students and faculty with the renaming of its Edwards School of Business to the N. Murray Edwards School of Business. The new name, effective immediately, reflects an ongoing partnership with Saskatchewan-born businessman Murray Edwards, as well as an expansion in the School’s programming focus from wealth management to include entrepreneurship and wealth creation.

Grant Isaac, who remains Dean of the newly named School, says an extensive consultation process with faculty, staff, students, alumni and stakeholders took place prior to adoption of the “School of Business” moniker on May 1, and the official addition of Murray Edwards’ name on July 24. “We received an overwhelmingly high level of support for renaming the College to the School of Business,” noted Isaac. “School of Business best fits our identity, describes our programming, captures our goals and aspirations and most importantly, resonates with our students, our alumni and our stakeholders.”

Edwards, now based in Calgary, is a successful entrepreneur and investor with a wide range of business interests including oil and natural gas, energy services, mining, aerospace, and NHL hockey. He graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce from the U of S in 1982, and has a long-standing relationship with the University. “The business education I received at the University of Saskatchewan was invaluable in my own career path,” said Edwards, “and I am confident it will be just as valuable for future Edwards’ students at the University of Saskatchewan for many years to come.”

“The University of Saskatchewan School of Business shares with Mr. Edwards a strategic focus on business and entrepreneurship programming,” said Isaac. “We are proud to have such a positive relationship with an internationally renowned Saskatchewan businessman of Mr. Edwards’ caliber. With his continued support, we fully expect the N. Murray Edwards School of Business will enhance the knowledge and marketability of our graduates, advance student recruitment efforts through scholarships, and attract world class faculty. This is an exciting development for our University, our faculty and our students.”
