“ On behalf of the AACSB International community we are deeply saddened to learn of the sudden passing of Dr. Ali Dastmalchian, Dean of the Beedie School of Business at Simon Fraser University. Dr. Dastmalchian was an internationally recognized, award-winning researcher and teacher. He was also a dear friend with a generous heart whose leadership consistently made a positive difference for individuals and organizations alike. We wish to extend our deepest sympathies and condolences to Ali’s family and friends, and to all within the Simon Fraser University community. ”
