Funding and supporting Black and Indigenous students in Dalhousie Faculty of Management's programs

Management education plays a vital role in taking great ideas from inspiration to realization. Our students become their generation鈥檚 managers and leaders鈥攁t home and around the world. They make remarkable contributions in large businesses, in small not-for-profits, in their communities and in government.

Our Promise to support Black and Indigenous students

Through the Promise Scholars program, we will support and nurture students with financial resources, work and internship experiences, and dedicated and personalized academic and career mentoring.

We believe that our collective futures require us to attend to the ways we have excluded and prevented racialized students, and especially Black and Indigenous students, from fulfilling their promise.

She trained as a registered nurse but went on to obtain a Bachelor of Nursing from Memorial University of Newfoundland, a Master of Public Administration from Queen鈥檚 University, a Master of Business Administration from St. Mary鈥檚 University, and a Doctor of Philosophy from Capella University.

As dedicated to nursing as her other vocations, Florence began her nursing career as an outpost nurse in various remote Indigenous communities across Northern Ontario and Nunavut.

Florence first taught for pilipili漫画 in 1987 and began her full-time appointment in 2009. In 2013, she became the director of the Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Management programs, which included leading the Undergraduate Advising Office, positions she held until 2021.
