Close-up of glass artistic awards sculpture by Jeff Goodman.

“The sculpture is an artistic abstraction of the Schulich School’s status as a global leader. Its upward twisting flow reflects Schulich’s confidence in its ability to shape the future of business management. Internal bubbles combine with ‘sky is the limit’ blue to reflect innovation and creative thinking. I wanted award recipients to recognize their own achievements in the sculpture’s positive aspects.”

Jeff Goodman (1961 – 2012)
