Ivey’s EMBA Class of 2026 begins its journey together

Ivey welcomed one of its largest EMBA cohorts in recent history, as 62 professionals gathered today to begin their residence week at Ivey’s Spencer Leadership Centre.

The EMBA participants were greeted by Fernando Olivera, Faculty Director of the EMBA program, who described them as “an energetic group” due to their enthusiasm during the initial team-building exercises.

“This marks the beginning of what I know will be a rewarding and transformational journey for them,” he said.

The new EMBA cohort is a diverse group, representing 31 industries and 20 birth countries. Here’s a look at the EMBA Class of 2026 by the numbers.
