Principal visits HEC Montréal

The Principal and Director of Development recently attended the inauguration of the St Edmund Hall Room at a new building at HEC Montréal Business School. The visit followed a lunch with the Director, Federico Pasin and colleagues from HEC Montreal as well as St Edmund Hall alumni based in the Montréal and Ottawa regions. The event was generously hosted by Teddy Hall alumnus M. Jean Chagnon (1971, BPhil Management Studies), his wife Silvie Chagnon, and son Antoine Chagnon.

M. Chagnon has supported the HEC Montréal-Oxford partnership since 2018 and has generously contributed towards academic research and scholarships at the Hall, the Saïd Business School and HEC Montréal. The partnership aims to encourage faculty at the two universities to share their knowledge and experience, facilitate exchanges between the student communities and increase the number and reach of research collaborations.

A reciprocal arrangement is planned to create an HEC Montréal cluster of rooms at Norham St Edmund once completed in 2026, to mirror the ‘salle St Edmund’ at HEC Montréal to further strengthen the partnership between the two institutions.
