Faculty and staff

Fiona McQuarrie joined UFV’s School of Business as a faculty member in 1995, after graduating from SFU and the University of Alberta, and working at the University of Prince Edward Island. During more than 20 years at UFV, she was co-chair of the School of Business, Associate Dean of the Faculty of Professional Studies, and acting Program Development Coordinator. When rank and tenure for faculty were introduced at UFV, she became the first faculty member in the School of Business and the Faculty of Professional Studies and the first woman at UFV to be promoted to the rank of Professor.

She is the author of the textbook Industrial Relations in Canada, which is used at more than 30 universities and colleges across Canada, and she served on the executive board of national and international academic societies for business administration faculty. She was also involved for many years with the provincial business administration articulation committee.
