    full-time faculty and a number of part-time instructors. The faculty is
    comprised of a highly motivated group of scholars, who are passionate about
    teaching while engaged in innovative scholarship. In order to support its
    objectives, the Bissett School of Business benefits from the associated
    Institute for Nonprofit Studies and the Centre for Innovation and
    Entrepreneurship ? making the school unique among Canadian undergraduate
    business schools.

    The Bissett School of Business offers a four-year Bachelor of Business
    Administration degree. Students can pursue majors in accounting, general
    management, human resources, or marketing. In addition to the four majors,

    city energy, cheerful western hospitality, and wondrous natural beauty. The
    city was recently ranked by The Economist as one of the top five liveable
    cities in the world.

    Duties: New faculty are hired into one of two work patterns. The
    teaching/scholarship/service (TSS) pattern has a focus on teaching with the
    requirement that the faculty member be involved in a research program as

    focus on teaching and service only. Work-pattern selection is based on
    faculty choice.

    maintain active liaison with industry partners or professional associations
    and be involved with course and program development.

    contribute to our organizational culture, which is characteristically
    supportive and collaborative.
