"After being accepted into the MA Leadership program. I realized I didn’t want to be behind a computer all day. I wanted to have more face time with employees and be more interactive and present. I wanted to build relationships with the people I work with and the people I work for. I was fortunate to have found what I wanted at Toyota Motor Manufacture Canada as a Human Resources Specialist in the Team Member Relations department."

Lang MA alumnus, education and leadership professional

"I had been a leader in the corporate sector as vice president for over 15-years but I wanted to find a program to help refine my leadership skills and push me academically. The MA Leadership program at Lang has inspired me to explore evidence-based leadership practices that continue to inform my behaviour, as I strive to be a positive influence towards a culture of character in my workplace."

Mark Gray, Alumni

"I have worked in a range of sectors within project and facility management including the energy sector, industrial construction, health-care and now research facilities. I have achieved my Facility Management Professional (FMP) designation through IFMA and my Project Management (PMP) designation through PMI. I was interested in pursuing my masters and felt that the University of Guelph’s MA (Leadership) program complemented my technical-based undergraduate degree well to achieve my future career aspirations.
