“ After meeting Ali when he first came to the Beedie School of Business, I was excited by what he might bring to the school. I found he brought all that and more. Ali was compassionate. I felt heard by him every time we spoke. He cared. He was a visionary and a leader who served. He brought so much to this world and I will remember his light. May we each find one piece of his legacy that we can carry forward. My heart goes out to all those who knew and loved him, especially Ali and his family. ”
