Second annual agribusiness case competition draws a dozen teams

caroline.zentner — Thu, 27 Oct 2016 17:42:04 +0000

Word has spread about the Cor Van Raay Agribusiness Case Competition co-hosted by Lethbridge College and the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge. This year, 54 post-secondary students registered to participate in the two-day event Friday and Saturday.

Now in its second year, the 12 teams taking part include one each from Medicine Hat College, Lakeland College and the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Saskatchewan. The remaining nine teams are from Lethbridge and are comprised of both U of L students studying management and agricultural economics and Lethbridge College students studying business administration and agriculture.

“This case competition provides students with an opportunity to analyze issues facing the primary industry in southern Alberta and provide solutions to a panel of judges,” says Dr. Bob Boudreau, dean of the Faculty of Management at the U of L. “It also allows them to network with and learn from industry professionals.”

“This competition is a great experience for students to work with peers from not only different disciplines, but from different institutions as well, in a fast-paced learning environment,” says Dennis Sheppard, dean of the Centre for Applied Management at Lethbridge College. “The competition affords students a taste of their future careers in an ever-growing world where the business of agriculture is critical.”

The case competition grew out of a $5-million donation by local agricultural entrepreneur Dr. Cor Van Raay (LLD ’15). The competition is designed to give students the opportunity to expand their knowledge in agriculture and business on a global scale.

“We strive to educate students on agribusiness and its potential career paths. Agribusiness presents diverse career possibilities, regardless of whether someone has grown up on a farm or not,” says Boudreau.

The competition gets underway Friday evening with a networking event and talk by keynote speaker Dennis McKnight. McKnight, founder of The Innovators, has decades of experience in market research and analyzing data. On Saturday morning, the case competition gets underway in the Markin Hall Atrium at the U of L. Students will be given an agribusiness case from which they’ll analyze the relevant issues and come up with a strategy that they’ll present to a panel of three judges. The competition wraps up with a mixer, dinner and awards presentation at the Garden Court restaurant at Lethbridge College.

Agriculture leader Cor Van Raay to receive U of L Honorary Degree

trevor.kenney — Wed, 14 Oct 2015 15:15:51 +0000

The ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge Senate is honoured to announce it is recognizing Alberta agriculture innovator and entrepreneur Cor Van Raay with a 2015 Honorary Degree.

“Cor Van Raay has meant so much to agriculture and the world of agribusiness in southern Alberta, and we are thrilled to highlight his contributions to the region with an honorary degree,” says ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge Chancellor Janice Varzari. “His entrepreneurial spirit is truly unique and has established his operations as an industry leader. Beyond that, Cor Van Raay has always been committed to bettering his community through charity, philanthropy and the furthering of education.”

Over the course of the last 50 years, Cor Van Raay has built one of the largest and most successful cattle production and feedlot operations in the country.

The U of L will present Cor Van Raay with the degree of Doctor of Laws, honoris causa, at the Fall 2015 Convocation ceremony on Saturday, October 17, 2015 at 10 a.m. in the 1st Choice Savings Centre for Sport and Wellness.

Cor Van Raay

Agricultural innovator and entrepreneur Cor Van Raay has made a significant impact on farming, ranching and livestock production in Alberta.

Originally from Holland, Van Raay began farming in Iron Springs, Alta. 50 years ago with a half-section of cropland and a small herd of Holstein cattle. Since then, he has built one of the largest and most successful cattle production and feedlot operations in the country. His agriculture endeavours over the last five decades have included co-founding a grain company in the 1980s, and becoming a majority owner of a highly successful John Deere dealership.

His big-picture thinking, intellectual curiosity and strong work ethic have not only enabled him to greatly advance Cor Van Raay Farms, but to do so in an ecologically sustainable fashion. Today he is recognized as a leader in the agriculture industry and his noteworthy achievements in cattle farming have earned him accolades such as a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Alberta Cattle Feeders Association and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal.

Van Raay’s passion for agribusiness is not confined to the borders of his farmstead. His vision is a future where agriculture, an enterprise on which the southern Alberta economy was established, continues to be an attractive career option for young people. Further, he seeks to ensure that agriculture, regardless of the size of the operation, remains a significant force in our economy. Early in 2015, he gave the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge and Lethbridge College $5 million to jointly establish the Cor Van Raay Southern Alberta Agribusiness Program. Designed to provide leading-edge training in agribusiness practices, the program will focus on agricultural economics, entrepreneurship and innovation.

Van Raay’s commitment to community is further reflected by his many other philanthropic gifts and charitable activities. Over the years, he has made generous donations to organizations such as the Chinook Regional Hospital Foundation, the Helen Schuler Nature Centre, the Interfaith Food Bank Society of Lethbridge and the YMCA.

In addition, he has funded a number of scholarships at the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ, including the Cor Van Raay AGILITY Scholarship in Agriculture and Agribusiness, and two Faculty of Management scholarships, including one that was created in memory of his late wife, Christine, who passed away in 2006.

Cor Van Raay Agribusiness Case Competition now accepting student registrations

trevor.kenney — Wed, 07 Oct 2015 15:59:53 +0000

Student participants are now being sought for the inaugural Cor Van Raay Agribusiness Case Competition, a unique new venture presented collaboratively by the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge and Lethbridge College.

A student-directed initiative, the competition is designed for students to expand their knowledge in the areas of agriculture and business on a global scale, all the while introducing students to key players in the agribusiness sector. The competition is scheduled to run Nov. 6-8, 2015.

“It’s an amazing opportunity for students to gain practical experience in finding ways to improve agriculture practices by implementing modern business theories in an agricultural setting,” says ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge management student Monica Gorham, one of the event organizers. “It’s also a huge networking event, a chance for students to get to know future employers and for event sponsors to meet potential employees.”

Bringing students from both of the area’s post-secondary institutions together for the competition is a natural fit and speaks to the manner in which the schools’ programs complement each other.

The inaugural event will primarily include undergraduate students from the U of L and Lethbridge College. Teams of three to four students will be presented with a written business problem and given four hours to analyze and solve. Teams then present their findings to a panel of judges, often made up of ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ, industry sponsors and the community at large.

The competition is open to all students at either the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge or Lethbridge College and students can register as an individual. It is not necessary to have a background in agriculture or business but they are considered strengths.

For more information on the Cor Van Raay Agribusiness Case Competition, and to register, visit uleth.ca/management/agribusinesscase. The registration deadline is Oct. 16, 2015.

Industry sponsors for the event include Cor Van Raay, MNP, Scotiabank, MacLachlan McNab Hembroff, Viterra, Cargill, Dow AgroSciences, Lethbridge Exhibition Park, FarmLink Marketing Solutions, Lethbridge County, Economic Development Lethbridge and UFA.

Any further sponsors looking to get involved in the competition are urged to contact Gorham at 403-382-8101 or agribusinesscase@uleth.ca.

Business of agriculture to be the focus of Cor Van Raay Agribusiness Case Competition

trevor.kenney — Tue, 23 Jun 2015 16:23:56 +0000

The ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge and Lethbridge College are collaborating on a new venture that will present a challenge to students and begin to lay the foundation for the future of agribusiness in southern Alberta. The Cor Van Raay Agribusiness Case Competition, scheduled for Nov. 6-8, 2015, is the first of its kind in western Canada.

Bringing students from both of the area’s post-secondary institutions together for the competition is a natural fit and speaks to the manner in which the schools’ programs complement each other.

“Southern Alberta is an ideal location for this competition,” says Dr. Danny LeRoy, agricultural economist and coordinator of the agricultural studies program at the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge. “Agribusiness is of local and global importance, encompassing a wide range of activities that are ultimately aimed at meeting the needs for food, feed, fibre and fuel. From farm gate to consumer, entrepreneurs are continuously responding to an ever-changing, consumer-driven marketplace.”

Bringing students from both of the area’s post-secondary institutions together for the competition is a natural fit and speaks to the manner in which the schools’ programs complement each other.

“Lethbridge College is delighted to partner with the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge in this first annual competition, made possible through the generous support of Cor Van Raay,” says Chair, School of Agricultural and Life Sciences, Lethbridge College, Dr. Edith Olson. “This competition will allow students to apply theory to find practical solutions to real-world business problems, and will provide students with the skills employers are looking for. The competition is an example of the strong interrelationship between programs at Lethbridge College and the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge.”

Business case competitions have been commonplace for years but only recently has an agricultural component been incorporated.

Gorham, who is in her fourth year of studies and set to graduate in December, is a veteran of case competitions. She was part of a four-person team that included fellow organizer Phyllis MacCallum that claimed first place at the 3rd Annual International Agribusiness Case Competition at the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Guelph in 2014. That led to a trip to South Africa for a world competition and thoughts of bringing an agribusiness case competition out west.

“When we were in South Africa, the Cor Van Raay gift to the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ and Lethbridge College was announced and we thought that maybe we now had a way to try and start something here,” says Gorham.

The inaugural event is scheduled for Nov. 6-8, 2015 and will primarily include undergraduate students from the U of L and Lethbridge College. Teams of four to five persons will be presented with a written business problem and given four hours to analyze and solve. Teams then present their findings to a panel of judges, often made up of ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ, industry sponsors and the community at large.

“It really gives students the opportunity to apply theoretical material they learn in class to practical uses in areas of agriculture, natural resources and general business,” says Gorham.

The competition is open to all students and they can register as a group or individually. At least one agriculture student per team is required and Gorham advises a business student be included as well. Registration details will be announced in the fall.

“It’s amazing that through my experience in the competitions, how many doors have opened for me,” she adds. “Not being from an agriculture background, I’d always thought of agriculture as the family farm and it’s definitely opened my eyes.”

The cases for the competition will be mined from an online bank of business cases and tailored to include an agriculture element. Examples could include a scenario where a middle-sized corporation is looking to expand its operation, or the father of a family farm is retiring and has to design a succession plan for his business.

Industry sponsors for the event include Cor Van Raay, MNP, Scotiabank, MacLachlan McNab Hembroff, Viterra, Cargill and UFA.

��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ's AGILITY program designed to nurture innovation

trevor.kenney — Wed, 15 Apr 2015 18:04:33 +0000

The ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge has launched a new program – AGILITY – a university-wide initiative that has been designed to nurture and support innovation and entrepreneurship among U of L students at both the Lethbridge and Calgary campuses.

AGILITY will give U of L students a head start in establishing their careers before they even enter the workforce.

AGILITY builds on the strong foundation of a liberal education while preparing students for life and careers in the 21st century. Launched under the leadership of Interim Vice-President (Research) Dr. Lesley Brown and U of L alumnus Anil Pereira (BMgt ’87), AGILITY provides students access to knowledge about innovation within key sectors of the Canadian economy, and supports them through talks and mentorship by faculty and industry leaders, course work, scholarships and fellowships, access to the latest technological tools and physical innovation and collaboration spaces.

“AGILITY is poised to advance the position of the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge as a leading institution for teaching, research and 21st Century skill development,” says Brown. “By encouraging and helping students learn about innovation, and by celebrating and supporting their entrepreneurial spirit, AGILITY will enhance the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ’s capacity to graduate the thought leaders of tomorrow.”

What exactly is AGILITY? It’s an experiential academic and research program that bridges all disciplines and is open to students in all majors on both of the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ’s Lethbridge and Calgary campuses. AGILITY’s goal is to equip students with the skills of resilience, responsiveness and adaptability to allow them to keep pace with an evolving labour market, as well as skills that will enable them to tolerate risk and thrive despite change or failure. In short, AGILITY will give U of L students a head start in establishing their careers before they even enter the workforce.

“AGILITY builds on the fabric of the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ,” says Pereira, a Silicon Valley veteran who advises high-profile startups and technology companies on how to launch new products and grow their businesses. From this unique vantage point, Pereira sits at the forefront of cutting-edge technologies and brings that expertise to U of L students through his role as an advisor to the AGILITY program.

“AGILITY is about helping students learn that innovation happens at all levels, and in all types, of enterprise – whether a small business, family-owned business, large company, public sector organization, or an entrepreneurial venture that a student may want to join or start down the road.”

In its first rollout phase in 2015-2016, AGILITY will focus on enabling innovation and entrepreneurship in the areas of agriculture and agribusiness. With thanks to the generous financial support of Cor Van Raay Farms, the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge has created a program that responds to our agricultural heritage and the fabric of the southern Alberta landscape. The initial thrust of the AGILITY program will also lay the foundation for a range of academic and learning experiences in other sectors.

AGILITY Speaker Series

AGILITY will offer students a range of public lectures and workshops in both Lethbridge and Calgary. Examples of 2015-2016 AGILITY speakers include:

• Tom Burke – Senior Investment Advisor, Canaccord Genuity, who will moderate a roundtable with agribusiness and agri-tech leaders entitled Canadian Agriculture in the 21st Century: Technology, Finance, Sustainability

• Steve Cloutier – Chief Executive Officer, Roper Energy Inc., who will deliver a public lecture on Energy Startups: Key Lessons and Insights for Today’s Entrepreneur

• Paul Oss– Public Affairs Officer, Ministry of Innovation and Advanced Education, Province of Alberta, who will deliver a lecture on A Public Sector Perspective on Keeping Pace with Technological Change

• Chris Perry – CKP Farms Ltd. and Grow the Energy Circle Ltd. in southern Alberta, who will hold a workshop on integrating environmental stewardship and innovative technology into agriculture

AGILITY Scholarships and Fellowships

In order to attract, support and incent students who show a demonstrated interest in innovation and entrepreneurship, AGILITY will offer a range of scholarships and fellowships. The first awards – the Cor Van Raay Scholarships and Cor Van Raay Fellowships – will be awarded to students focused on innovation and entrepreneurship in agribusiness and agri-tech. These awards build on existing scholarships at the U of L, including the Pereira Entrepreneurship Award, which was established last year in advance of today’s launch of AGILITY.

AGILITY Innovation Labs

To provide students with access to the latest technology, as well as space for innovation and collaboration, AGILITY will design, outfit and deliver a series of collaborative, flexible, open spaces for formal and informal learning across both U of L campuses. These innovation labs are the cornerstones of AGILITY's applied learning activities. AGILITY spaces facilitate learning through hands-on, self-directed exploration of the latest software, hardware and applications, and they provide a physical location where students can access these tools and technologies for creativity, for advancing new ideas, or simply to gather to share knowledge and resources, or develop ideas. Examples of software, hardware and applications that students, faculty and alumni can access through AGILITY innovation labs include:

• Digital media and design resources such as virtual reality films from industry leaders such as Montréal-based Félix and Paul Studios(http://www.felixandpaul.com)

• State-of-the-art Education Technology (Ed-Tech) platforms for use by future teachers such as the Classroom Edition of SplashMath, the leading math practice apps for grades K-6 (https://www.splashmath.com); and Tynker Classroom, the leading platform for teaching kids programming and STEM skills (https://www.tynker.com/school/)

• State-of-the-art hardware including 3D printers, touchscreen monitors, microcontrollers, CNC routers, vinyl, laser and plasma cutters, laser scanners, motion sensing equipment and virtual reality headsets

Potato Growers of Alberta, partners, create new research Chair

trevor.kenney — Fri, 11 Jul 2014 16:48:46 +0000

Research capacity in Alberta’s potato industry will be significantly enhanced due to a $1 million investment in the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge by a consortium of association and industry partners.

The U of L will receive the funds over five years from the Potato Growers of Alberta (PGA), McCain Foods, ConAgra Lamb Weston and Cavendish Farms to establish a Chair in potato science.

The U of L will receive funds over five years from the Potato Growers of Alberta (PGA), McCain Foods, ConAgra Lamb Weston and Cavendish Farms to establish a Chair in potato science.

“Growers and processors identified a need to expand research in this critical field,” says Terence Hochstein, the PGA’s executive director. “There are only a handful of researchers dedicated to the discipline throughout western Canada and we expect this new Chair will greatly enhance and complement the current capacity that exists.”

The Potato Growers of Alberta (PGA) is a non-profit potato grower organization that aims to increase the success of the potato growing industry in Alberta. To accomplish this, the PGA works on three fronts: education and extension, marketing and promotion, and research.

Alberta’s potato industry is worth over $1 billion annually, including $165 to $180 million in farm gate receipts.

The ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ will immediately begin its search for a scientist with demonstrated experience in the potato industry. As well, the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ will be seeking a researcher who is able to collaborate with producers and industry partners.

In addition to building research capacity, Hochstein hopes that U of L graduate and undergraduate students benefit from the Chair and that future capacity is created for the industry.

“One of the consortium’s long-term aspirations is that through student-research activities and related interactions, more agriculturally-focused students will consider a career in the potato industry,” says Hochstein. “While the potato industry is big business in Alberta, family farms continue to be a significant contributor to both seed and consumption potatoes.”

U of L President and Vice-Chancellor, Dr. Mike Mahon, says the PGA investment recognizes the commitment the U of L is making to Alberta’s agriculture industry.

“This investment, coupled with the recent donation made by Cor Van Raay, illustrates the leadership role that the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge plays in agriculture,” says Mahon. “We recognize agriculture as a dominant industry in southern Alberta. We will continue to respond to the economic, social and quality of life needs of southern Albertans.”

Acting Vice-President (Research), Dr. Lesley Brown, says existing research strengths at the U of L will enhance the work performed by the new Chair.

“The work done by this new Chair will complement existing U of L agricultural research strengths like water, epigenetics and remote sensing,” says Brown. “The U of L has a history of successful interdisciplinary projects and this new expertise will not only expand capacity for potato research, but will inform many other important areas as well.”

Cor Van Raay gives $5 million in support of ag studies at ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge and Lethbridge College

trevor.kenney — Wed, 18 Jun 2014 21:54:59 +0000

One of southern Alberta’s most prominent agricultural entrepreneurs is ensuring that the future of agribusiness and the agricultural sector remain strong through a major philanthropic gift that will benefit students at both the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge and Lethbridge College.

Cor Van Raay, left, and U of L President and Vice-chancellor, Dr. Mike Mahon. Van Raay's gift ensures that the future of agribusiness and the agricultural sector remains strong in Canada and beyond.

Cor Van Raay, the founder of Cor Van Raay Farms and a leading Canadian cattle producer, has donated $5 million to Lethbridge College and the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge, jointly, to establish the Cor Van Raay Southern Alberta Agribusiness Program.

“This is an incredible gift, and we are extremely grateful to Cor and his passion for agriculture and his commitment to southern Alberta,” says ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge President and Vice-Chancellor, Dr. Mike Mahon. “Through the establishment of this program, we will be able to create student opportunities such that we educate future generations in agribusiness practices that enable them to successfully operate wide ranging businesses in the agricultural sector.”

Through the Cor Van Raay Southern Alberta Agribusiness Program, a joint program offered by the College and the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ will be created, focusing on agriculture-related education opportunities in the areas of Ag-economics, business development, entrepreneurship, finance, human resource management, commodity and futures trading, and general management and leadership with a focus on agricultural innovation.

“Mr. Cor Van Raay is a philanthropist, a lifelong learner, an innovator and a collaborator,” says Lethbridge College President and CEO, Dr. Paula Burns. “His collaborative nature is seen in the structure of this gift, which will allow Lethbridge College and the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge to create a unique partnership to meet the educational needs of agricultural professions for future generations.”

Van Raay and his late wife, Christine, settled in the Iron Springs area of southern Alberta in the early 1960s. The couple purchased a half section of cropland, to which Cor added a small herd of Holstein cattle in 1966.

By the 1970s, the Van Raays were growing grain and sugar beets and, as their cattle numbers grew, began to establish what would become one of the country’s most successful cattle operations.

In the early 1980s, Cor co-founded Butte Grain Merchants and continued to build his cattle business with an increasing emphasis on sustainable business practices. Around the same time, Cor became a majority owner of a very successful southern Alberta John Deere dealership from which he recently retired. Cor has now shifted his focus to a new farming operation he’s establishing in Saskatchewan.

The $5 million gift will be shared jointly between the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge and Lethbridge College, establishing endowed student awards, academic programming, an Agriculture Entrepreneur in Residence (Lethbridge College) and an Innovation and Entrepreneurship Program (��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge).

“In partnership with Lethbridge College and the U of L, this gift will help position southern Alberta as a leader in the agricultural industry,” says Van Raay. “I’m really looking forward to the future.”

Program Details

$1 million for endowed student awards ($500,000 each to the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge and Lethbridge College)

$2 million for academic programming ($1 million each to the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge and Lethbridge College)

$1 million for an Agriculture Entrepreneur in Residence program at Lethbridge College. Visiting experts and successful agricultural business leaders will be welcomed into the program as Agriculture Entrepreneurs in Residence to create opportunities for students at the College and the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ to gain practical, real-world experience while generating impacts for existing agriculture operations and businesses

$1 million for an Innovation and Entrepreneurship program at the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge. This funding will be part of THINC (The Home for Innovative New Companies) and will be used to establish a 12-week course on business development and entrepreneurship, supported by agriculture mentors and entrepreneur mentors for students who have an innovative idea or concept that they would like to turn into potential business opportunities.
