Words from our partners
Terry Malley, President and CEO, Malley Industries
"As a New Brunswick based company, we like to support UNB and its students in their educational pursuits. After identifying some management and logistical challenges, we partnered with UNB’s Faculty of Management students to find solutions.
The students were keen and attentive. They impressed our management team with their research efforts and their grasp of the issues our company was facing. Their presentations were thorough and provided our team with concrete avenues to pursue.
We would highly recommend that other companies engage with the Faculty of Management. The collaboration process was seamless, and they made a special effort to ensure that planning and coordination was well organized.
We look forward to working on additional projects in future.”
Mike Mazerolle, Manager of Operations & Business Development, New Brunswick Association for Community Living (NBACL)
"The information and the time saved using the faculty and its students to assist NBACL has been extremely beneficial to our association. It has been refreshing to hear the new ideas, approaches, and feedback from the students, which in turn were used to help NBACL grow. It’s impressive to see the students use what they are taught in a hands-on environment with real life impact."
