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.

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.

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.”
The event was planned and executed by the Business Process Management Leadership Development class. Students worked together organizing the decor, music, and of course a delicious Indian potluck buffet.
“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.

Roksana Sobota, Sally Burgess and Andrew Staples at the new Advisement Centre HMC
Sheridan Faculty of Business students are able to access one-stop Student Services at the Advisement Centre located at the new Hazel McCallion Campus located in Mississauga. Students and visitors to the new HMC are greeted at the new main entrance of the campus by Student Success Officers Andrew Staples and Roksana Sobota who provide support for nearly every inquiry they face. Questions that can’t immediately be resolved with Success Officers Staples and Sobota can easily be referred to the right connection just inside the spacious Advisement Centre.
The new one-stop concept Advisement Centre houses members of Student Advisement, Accessible Learning, Counseling, Cooperative Education, Registrar’s Office, and International Student Services all at one central location.
“This new one-stop model is something that all colleges want and because we were creating a completely new physical space with the Hazel McCallion campus, we were able to give the concept priority and include it in the initial design,” says Student Advisor, Sally Burgess.
Weekly team meetings are held with key players at HMC Advisement Centre, including First Year Business Coordinator Carole Bowman, in order to keep the facility consistently responding to and anticipating HMC student needs. Currently the Davis Campus Students Services are being renovated to offer the same style one-stop Student Services to students there.

Susan Shepley, Faculty of Business Liaison Librarian
Did you know that Susan Shepley, Sheridan’s Business Liaison Librarian, can connect you with tools to monitor the latest trends in business, teach your students how to be savvy information seekers, show you how to access the massive invisible web to find those resources not available through Google?
Based at the Hazel McCallion Campus, Susan Shepley helps students to research by mining databases like Factiva, LexisNexis, and Euromonitor, which many students will encounter when they graduate into the business world. Shepley works closely with faculty to design research workshops tailored to specific assignments or learning outcomes.
“When people think of librarians, they tend to think just of books,” says Shepley, “but I deal in information – social media, specialized research databases, data visualization, statistics, grey literature, and the invisible web.”
Susan Shepley works with students to improve their research skills.
Recently, Susan worked with Professor Linda Gowda to design a Current Events Research Workshop for International Business students that highlighted techniques for monitoring global trends, news stories, and the international business environment. Shepley and Gowda created hands-on activities for students to discover where to find reliable research for making smart business decisions.
“A true example of experiential learning, the integrated workshop not only benefited students; Susan and I also learned much from the session,” said Professor Gowda.
Working with Professor Sarah Carter, Shepley created a customized research guide for students embedded inside the Business Communications SLATE course template.
Before joining Sheridan, Susan was Social Sciences Librarian at McMaster University where she was embedded into curriculum for programs like the School of Labour Studies. Shepley collaborated with faculty, leading workshops and providing ongoing research support for student capstone projects. At the Saskatchewan Institute of Applied Science & Technology, Shepley was a Distance Education Librarian where she focused on e-learning. Shepley holds MLIS, University of Western Ontario, MA (History), University of Waterloo, BA (History), King’s University College.
If you are interested in trying out some new strategies related to information and research, contact Susan at x2472 to discuss how you can work together.

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.
