Laura Gill unpacks course materials for her new desk at HMC
Members of the Faculty of Business began to move their materials into the new offices at The Hazel McCallion campus in the heart of Mississauga. While most of the campus is complete there are still a myriad of finishing touches to be added to the building and the equipment. Sheridan IT technicians were hard at work setting up and testing the classroom technology to ensure a trouble-free start-up for September.
Sheridan faculty and staff participate in a Building Orientation Briefing
The day began with an Building Orientation Briefing to acquaint the faculty and staff with the new HMC campus which is still undergoing significant construction and finishing. Following the briefing, faculty and staff were taken on tours of the new campus and their new office space.
August 8 marks the move date for Office of the Registrar, Student Services (including the Assessment Centre) and Library Staff.
Taking the tour of the new HMC
In September 2011 the HMC will accommodate 1,760 students, including 1200 business students and 560 spaces dedicated to the training and re-training of new Canadians, foreign-trained professionals and unemployed workers. The campus will be leading edge in its design, services and programming, and will reflect the Creative Campus for Sheridan.

William Holmes, Dean, Sheridan Faculty of Business and his assistant, Stella Coleman point out the fourth floor Faculty of Business offices at HMC.
Sheridan College will receive $60 million in funding from the McGuinty Government to construct the second phase of its new Hazel McCallion Campus in Mississauga. Phase Two construction is expected to begin in late 2012, following community consultation to develop detailed plans for the new facility. Phase Two will accommodate an additional full-time 3,500 business students, bringing the total enrolment potential to 5,260 when the second phase at the Hazel McCallion Campus opens in 2014.
The first phase of the HMC opens this September, and will accommodate 1,760 students, primarily enrolled in business diploma and post-graduate programs. Enrolment in most programs had already reached capacity by March of this year.
“The enthusiastic response to the first phase of our Mississauga campus has confirmed the growing demand for higher education in the region,” said Dr. Jeff Zabudsky, President and CEO. “The new building is vital to helping us meet this demand, by providing the space and facilities that will enable more Mississauga residents to pursue diplomas and degrees closer to home. This investment by the Ontario government is helping our students get the best possible education to succeed.”
“This announcement recognizes the outstanding positive response to the launch of Phase I of the Hazel McCallion Campus. It is a fantastic opportunity for Sheridan to continue to further its mandate to provide high quality, leading edge applied undergraduate education to the students in the Brampton-Mississauga-Oakville corridor,” said Dr. William Holmes, Dean, Sheridan Faculty of Business.

Two of our 3 Year Advanced Ontario Diploma in Business Administration - Marketing graduates Anthony Guidotti and Nathalie Fassano graduated from HAN University in Arnhem in the Netherlands in June 2010 with Bachelor of Business Administration in International Business and Management Studies. “Both students did very well to complete their degrees in a foreign country and adapted well during their studies,” said Professor Charles Minken, Sheridan School of Business liaison with Han University.
Nathalie also graduated from Han with distinction due to her high academic achievement in her program. These are the first Sheridan Graduates completing their diploma at HAN.
HAN University is also an exchange study partner with Sheridan’s Bachelor of Applied Business in Global Business Management studies. Currently a number of other Sheridan graduates from Sheridan School of Business 3 year Finance and 3 year Advertising Diploma programs are studying at HAN.
Nipissing University Convocation was held on October 22, 2010 and approximately 45 Sheridan business students graduated. Associate Dean Jeremy Staples attended.
Nipissing University offers their courses on-site at Sheridan College to allow Sheridan graduates to complete their Bachelor of Commerce degree (B.Comm) in about 12 months by offering a full selection of small classes and tutorials lead by expert professors.

This third year Sheridan School of Business student, now in her graduating semester, is the recent recipient of the Orangeville district Rotary Club Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA), has distinguished herself as a Peer Mentor in Sheridan’s Student Services division, and finds time to work part-time as a program support person for the Sheridan School of Continuing Education at the St. Joseph’s campus.
Umoafia, a third year School of Business student and Peer Mentor has been selected to attend the 2009 International Rotary Youth Leadership Awards held June 18th-21st, 2009 in Birmingham, England, immediately preceding the 100th Rotary International Convention.

Joy Umoafia displays her recent award from Rotary Clubs International
Established as a Rotary Structured Program in 1971, Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) is Rotary’s leadership training program for young people. RYLA emphasizes leadership, citizenship, and personal growth through intensive training programs that often take the shape of a seminar, workshop, or camp.
International RYLA invites up to 150 exceptional young people to refine their leadership skills, discuss issues relevant to global citizenship in the new millennium, and share ideas on how to make a positive impact in their communities. By invitation-only, young leaders celebrate Rotary’s commitment to youth. Participants learn advanced leadership techniques through interactive training exercises. During small group breakout sessions, participants explore and discuss current issues and topics pertinent to leadership in a global society.
Throughout the program, participants will have the opportunity to meet other exceptional young leaders from across the world while learning advanced leadership techniques through training exercises.
“This is a tremendous honour for Joy and we congratulate her for her achievements. It is testament to her strong abilities and leadership qualities, said Joseph Henry, Supervisor, Student Leadership and Engagement, Sheridan College Student Services.
