Almost 50 Irving Oil employees attending the UNB Saint John convocation are not there to support their son or daughter but to give themselves a high five.
The workers are the first class to complete the company’s Executive Masters of Business Administration.
Tanya Chapman is one of the graduates and she tells CHSJ News she considered it back in 2001 but with young children she couldn’t take on the travel required to do it.
Irving Oil President Mike Ashar says the new EMBA’s represent a three-way win for the company’s people, the business and the community.
