Henry Katz, Coordinator, Financial Planning Graduate Certificate Program
Henry Katz, professor in the Sheridan Faculty of Business, curriculum designer and Coordinator of the Financial Planning, Graduate Certificate program has decided to retire after 26 plus years of academic excellence.
Professor Katz was long-time Coordinator of the highly successful and industry-certified Financial Planning Program at Sheridan College where he expertly designed the program curriculum to reflect industry standards and assist his graduates to complete their Certified Financial Planner designation.
Henry Katz was nominated for TVO’s Best Lecturer 2010 Competition and for the 2008 ACCC Award for Teaching Excellence. His professional designations include: Associate Chartered Secretary and Administrator (ACIS); Certified Management Accountant CMA (Austin); Certified Financial Planner (CFP); and Registered Financial Planner (RFP).
“I have mixed feelings in retirement. On one hand, I miss lecturing and student classroom interaction. On the other hand, retirement provides me with more time to exercise, travel and devote time in my financial and investment planning practice,” said Katz.
Professor Katz was recently profiled in Sheridan’s Ovation magazine in his authored article about recession-proof investment strategies.
Professor Katz will attend Sheridan Convocation 2012 and be celebrated with other Sheridan Faculty of Business retirees at the annual Dean’s Reception in Spring 2012 – details to follow.

Financial Planning students Steven Hole, Rohan Sharma and Chris Hoeppler took a solid bronze in the recent CIFP Case Challenge Event
Sheridan Financial Planning students recently had an opportunity to test their skills against students from five other colleges at the annual Canadian Institute of Financial Planners (CIFP) Case Challenge Event placing third overall behind Centennial and George Brown College. The Sheridan Faculty of Business team included Steven Hole, Rohan Sharma and Chris Hoeppler with Professor Sidney Liburd and Associate Dean, Rob Giberson.
Hosted by Centennial College in Scarborough, the November CIFP Case Challenge competition included participants from Centennial; Sheridan Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning; George Brown College; Conestoga College Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning; Mohawk College; and Seneca College of Applied Arts and Technology.
“This is a great opportunity to showcase and demonstrate the fine job that these institutions are doing with financial services students,” said Keith Costello, president and CEO of The Canadian Institute of Financial Planning. “It’s a really good indication of where our highly skilled manpower in financial services is going to be coming from in the next 10 to 20 years.”
During the CIFP Case Challenge Event the students are divided into teams of two or three members, a financial case is given to the teams, and they have 90 minutes to craft a plan for that case. The teams each have 20 minutes to present their plans to a panel. The panel asks follow-up questions about the plan following the presentation. The teams are marked on the criteria of time management, creativity and presentation skills.
This event marks the second CIFP competition, last year’s competition was held exclusively for Centennial College students. In future, Costello hopes more colleges across the province — and, eventually, the country — will participate in the competition.

Lisa Symons and David Nowell present The Lydiatt Award to Bryan Abichandani, Centennial College
David Nowell presented the fifth annual William and Margaret Lydiatt Award to Centennial College student Bryan Abichandani at the recent Ontario Colleges’ Marketing Competition (OCMC).
Created by Sheridan College Professor David Nowell through an inheritance from the Lydiatt family, The Lydiatt Award commemorates two remarkable Canadians. William Lydiatt gave Marketing Magazine its name and was its publisher for 36 of the 100 plus years during which that magazine has been such a part of our profession. Margaret Lydiatt was William’s favored niece and she supported him through illness later in his life.
The award is offered to OCMC competitors based on three criteria. A student who supports others and works exceptionally hard, demonstrates exceptional commitment to OCMC, and has overcome extraordinary adversity and inspires others.
While the award was conceived and created in 2006, it was approved by the OCMC organizing committee for award in 2007. For 2006, The Lydiatt Award was a Sheridan College award and the winner was Chantelle Simard, whose Sheridan team-mates found her to be incredibly supportive of them. She also was a last-minute replacement for the Sheridan’s team in an OCMC event and gave extra effort to do well in it.
Other winners include in 2010 Scott Landry of Mohawk College, 2009 Shauna Proctor of Contestoga College, 2008 Algonquin Student Sarah Ormon, and 2007 Victoria George of Seneca College. Sadly, Victoria George died in April 2009 after falling ill while on vacation in Mexico. What began as a severe asthma attack led to an emergency trip back to Canada where she died in hospital with her family by her side. All who knew Victoria George were devastated by the news.

Sheridan’s Faculty of Business film series Ethics in Business continues Tuesday November 29 at 7:00 pm in Room A145 at the Hazel McCallion Campus in Mississauga with Super Size Me, the story of Morgan Spurlock and his journey of epic proportions through a McDonalds only diet.
From the IMDB website:
Several legal suits have been brought against McDonald’s Restaurants that they are knowingly selling food that is unhealthy. Some of the court decisions have stated that the plaintiffs would have a claim if they could prove that eating the food every day for every meal is dangerous. As such, documentarian Morgan Spurlock conducts an unscientific experiment using himself as the guinea pig: eat only McDonald’s for thirty days, three meals a day. If he is asked by the clerk if he would like the meal super sized, he has to say yes. And by the end of the thirty days, he will have had to have eaten every single menu item at least once. Before starting the experiment, he is tested by three doctors – a general practitioner, a cardiologist and a gastroenterologist – who pronounce his general health to be outstanding. They will also monitor him over the thirty days to ensure that he is not placing his health into irreparable damage.
Sheridan’s film series continues next Tuesday at 7:00 pm with Inside Job.

Publicity poster from Food Inc.
Sheridan’s Faculty of Business film series Ethics in Business continues Tuesday November 8 at 7:00 pm in Room A145 at the Hazel McCallion Campus in Mississauga with Food Inc., a look at how food is now produced for the consumer market and the surrounding ethical challenges facing legitimate producers.
From the film website:
In Food, Inc., filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on our nation’s food industry, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly that has been hidden from the American consumer with the consent of our government’s regulatory agencies, USDA and FDA. Our nation’s food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment. We have bigger-breasted chickens, the perfect pork chop, herbicide-resistant soybean seeds, even tomatoes that won’t go bad, but we also have new strains of E. coli—the harmful bacteria that causes illness for an estimated 73,000 Americans annually. We are riddled with widespread obesity, particularly among children, and an epidemic level of diabetes among adults.
Sheridan Faculty of Business Dean, Bill Holmes is pleased to present the Tuesday evening film series Ethics in Business at the Hazel McCallion campus. The film series covers a number of issues in business ethics from corporate responsibility to social media begins Tuesday October 18 at 7:00 pm in room A145 at HMC and runs for eight weeks concluding on Tuesday December 6, 2011. All showing times will start at 7:00 pm.
Next week, November 15, 2011 will feature filmmaker Michael Moore’s Capitalism: A Love Story

Sheridan Office Administration students and graduates supplied administrative support to the Mississauga Summit 2011
More than 25 Sheridan Faculty of Business, Office Administration students, graduates and faculty volunteered to supply scribe and administrative services to the participants of the recent Mississauga Summit.
The Mississauga Summit, held at the University of Toronto, Mississauga (UTM) brought together participants to brainstorm five Big Ideas for the future of the City of Mississauga.
Coordinated by Nancy Barrington, the Sheridan Faculty of Business, Office Administration students and graduates volunteered in a variety of ways – mainly by e-recording, using their laptops, the highlights of each presentation, and assisting with distributing information to participants, taking pictures, participating in the audience, and networking with the community. Lisa Mendes and Kellie Hayward, professors in the Office Administration programs, also assisted with organizing the students during the Summit.
Sheridan Office Administration students with Mayor Hazel McCallion at the recent Mississauga Summit
Mississauga Mayor Hazel McCallion and Calgary’s Mayor Neshi were in attendance as various task forces presented five “big ideas” for Mississauga on the waterfront, diversity, human services (health and social services), post-secondary education, and jobs.
The ideas include a waterfront development corporation to determine the fate of 450 acres of land; a business network for UTM, Sheridan College and two local hospitals; an innovation centre comparable to MaRS in downtown Toronto for start-up businesses; a “neighbourhoods-at-risk strategy” for social services in one community; and a diversity council for the large immigrant community.
Summit participant and Sheridan Faculty of Business, Dean, William Holmes praised the coordinators, faculty and students of the Office Administration programs.
“Our students showed an exceptional level of professionalism and I was proud to have them at the Summit representing Sheridan and the Faculty of Business, please accept my thanks and sincere appreciation”, said Holmes.
The Mississauga Summit is the fourth in an ongoing series that began in 2007 and is modeled after Greater Toronto’s CivicAction — a way to engage residents by having them contribute their own plans.

Sheridan Business Process Management students take part in Diwali celebrations.
Diwali celebration lights up the Hazel McCallion Campus as Sheridan Business Process Management program students hosted a Diwali celebration recently. Diwali, also known as the festival of lights, is one of the most significant festivals in Hinduism. Faculty of Business students and faculty from several post graduate programs gathered to mix and mingle and enjoy the festivities.
“The students put on a great event,” said Scott Hadley, Business Process Management Coordinator. “The celebration not only introduced students and faculty to the Diwali Festival but also offered a memorable night for international students new to Canada to feel at home at Sheridan.”

“BPM student Khushboo Ghosh lead planning efforts with the support of her classmates. The class achieved their vision of launching a memorable event which drew students from other Faculty of Business programs, allowing students to meet peers and enhance their social networks,” said Golnaz Golnaraghi, Business Process Management program Leadership Development Professor.
There were many highlights at the event. BPM student Ankush Chodvaya presented the history and significance of Diwali. Faculty put on a commendable effort competing in a hot pepper eating contest against students. Guests participated in traditional dancing, games and mehndi applications. Mehndi is the art of applying decorative henna drawings, usually on the hand.

Part film and part movement, The Corporation is transforming audiences and dazzling critics with its insightful and compelling analysis.

Graeme O'Neil interviews Extreme Athlete, Trevor Bodogh during Canada's Got Talent auditions in Toronto.
Extreme Athlete, and Sheridan Faculty of Business graduate Trevor Bodogh says he has a hard time saying no to a good opportunity to create exposure for his Bike Trials sport, and the recent Toronto auditions for television series Canada’s Got Talent was the right move at the right time.
Bodogh hopes that his Canada’s Got Talent audition will help give a little jet fuel to the hard work he has invested into pursuing his extreme athlete career in terms of exposure, inspiration and interest from sponsors and events. Bodogh’s focus at the audition was on creating a unique energy around what he wanted to demonstrate to the judges and he believes that he was a success.
Trevor Bodogh soars through his routine at CGT auditions
When Bodogh’s team arrived at the Rogers Centre for the CGT audition, the rain started to pour while he had a truck full of props to bring in past the endless lines filled with contestants. After meeting CGT host, Graeme O’Neil, he started bringing in the deconstructed metal pieces of his prop setup.
After about what felt like the 20th trip inside and many curious looks from the waiting contestants, Bodogh’s team set everything up and were put into line near the front. CGT host Graeme O’Neil returned shortly after seeing the giant metal ladder fully constructed and asked Bodogh for a demonstration, on camera. Amid screams of excitement and fear, Trevor Bodogh leaped his bike up and then soared off the end of the six-foot high ladder set-piece. Then with the help of the CGT team, he hauled all his props downstairs for the real audition in front of the executive show producer and his judges. Bodogh says that contestants will know by October 30th if they are selected for the next step in the Canada’s Got Talent process. Make sure to stay tuned to Canada’s Got Talent!
