The Sauder School of Business, part of the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver, continues to excel in business education under the leadership of Dean Darren Dahl, who was appointed in June 2022. With a strong academic background as the Innovate BC Professor in the Marketing and Behavioural Science Division, Dahl also contributes his expertise to the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Group at Sauder.

Dahl's journey with UBC began in 1992 when he enrolled as a PhD student in consumer behavior. Since then, he has had a remarkable career, taking on various pivotal roles such as Senior Associate Dean for Faculty and Research, Director of the Robert H. Lee Graduate School, and Senior Associate Dean for Special Projects, where he played a crucial role in the school's COVID-19 response. He has been recognized for his contributions to academia, receiving accolades including the prestigious Killam Research Award and a 3M Teaching Fellowship.

Established in 1956 and renamed in 2003, the Sauder School of Business aims to provide a pioneering business education experience. William Sauder’s $20 million endowment helped elevate the school's profile, making it a leader in innovative business practices. In 2006, the establishment of the Robert H. Lee Graduate School further enhanced graduate education at Sauder, showcasing the institution's commitment to continuous improvement.

With a recent renovation of the Henry Angus Building in 2012, the school now boasts modern facilities, including collaborative learning spaces and advanced classrooms. Upcoming events such as the “Sauder Business Conference” on May 15, 2025, and “UBC Entrepreneurship Week” from June 3-7, 2025, invite the public to engage with the school and learn about current business trends and innovations.

For more information about programs and events, the UBC Sauder website provides a wealth of resources for prospective students and community members looking to connect with this dynamic institution. Under Dean Darren Dahl’s leadership, the Sauder School of Business continues to foster a legacy of innovation, research excellence, and community engagement.
