A message from Associate Deans, School of Business and Management , Lisa Mendez and April Tyrrell:
It is with a sense of joy and nostalgia that we celebrate the remarkable career of Rob Shepherd who has devoted years of dedication, passion, and expertise to Niagara College. We want to take a moment to reflect on the profound impact Rob has had on the lives of countless students and colleagues.
Rob has been a faculty member at Niagara College since 1996. Rob was hired as the coordinator of the B.A. Supply Chain and Operations Management program, a position he has held since he joined the NC team.
Rob has travelled coast to coast and as far afield as Jamaica to represent NC and work with industry and education partners to develop and improve programs in the field of supply chain. Recently, with the assistance of administrative support, sector partners, and colleagues, Rob piloted the development and implementation of a post graduate Supply Chain Management program which realized its first intake in May of 2022.
Rob extends his heartfelt thanks to administration, support staff, part-time, and full-time faculty, and students for all the terrific contributions and support throughout his tenure. Most importantly, Rob has appreciated all the good times and laughs that sustain us, daily!
We extend our warmest wishes for a fulfilling retirement, filled with new adventures and relaxation. We will miss your steady presence in the halls.
