Karima Afif

“It was an intellectually stimulating experience and a springboard for my career as a professor-researcher! I appreciated the faculty’s expertise and rigour, and how humble they were. The socialization and engagement activities really support success and personal growth. There is an overall sense of open-mindedness, integrity, and commitment. These values have stayed with me in my work in academia.”

Karima Afif, Assistant Professor of Operations Management at Université Laval. Graduate of the PhD in Administration – Logistics and Operations Management program (2021)
