DeGroote and ESCA Formalize New Partnership

McMaster University’s DeGroote School of Business was pleased to welcome Dean Thami Ghorfi of ESCA Ecole de Management in Casablanca this week.

The visit provided an opportunity for productive discussions on shared priorities, including curriculum innovation, research collaboration, and the evolving future of business education in Canada and Morocco. Building on these conversations, DeGroote and ESCA formalized their growing relationship through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding and a faculty and student exchange agreement.

These agreements create new opportunities for students and faculty at both institutions to learn, teach, and collaborate internationally. The partnership strengthens DeGroote’s global engagement and deepens academic ties between Hamilton and Casablanca.

We thank Dean Ghorfi, as well as the ESCA and DeGroote teams, for their work in bringing this collaboration to fruition. We look forward to the opportunities and outcomes that will emerge from this partnership.
