Conrad School celebrating retired founding director

Wednesday, September 21, 2022

An event is planned for next month to celebrate the retirement of the founding director of the Conrad School of Entrepreneurship and Business at Waterloo Engineering.

Howard Armitage retired this summer after 41 years with the University of Waterloo, starting with his appointment as a professor at the School of Accounting and Finance.

The roots of the Conrad School go back to 1999 when Armitage first raised the idea of an academic unit focused on business, entrepreneurship and technology with then-president David Johnston at a breakfast.
