Any Way You Want It Calgary’s Chiu School of Business offers unrivaled flexibility to its students “Because Calgary is a very diverse city, entrepreneurial activities appeal to new Canadians – Wayne Chiu being one,” says Dr. David Allwright, Dean of the Chiu School. “Students have families, higher education, jobs and community commitments, so we give them flexibility in scheduling.” And the options for students will only increase: soon 100 per cent of the programming will be available online. The Chiu School of Business also offers comprehensive advisory support. “Each student is assigned a student engagement officer who helps them plan their academic program and career placement,” says Allwright. “If you give students choices, you have to give advisory support as well.” More than ever, students have diverse needs. The Chiu School of Business checks all the right boxes for them: flexibility, career security and expertise.

ayne and Eleanor Chiu are two of Calgary’s most prominent entrepreneurs and philanthropists. Wayne, the CEO of Trico Homes, and his wife Eleanor founded the Trico Charitable Foundation in 2008 in the same spirit of social responsibility that makes Trico Homes such a success. In early 2014, the Chiu family gifted Bow Valley College with its largest single contribution, and today, the Bow Valley College School of Business bears the family name. “Our family supports social entrepreneurship and social innovation,” Wayne said at the unveiling of the Chiu School of Business in January.
