2025 Oxford Business School Alumni Event

Date of Event: May 16, 2025
Location: Royal Canadian Military Museum, Toronto, Ontario

A Global Gathering of Ambition and Connection

On May 16, 2025, Maplewood Academy graduates joined distinguished peers at the Oxford Business School Alumni Event, hosted at the Royal Canadian Military Museum in Toronto. This prestigious gathering brought together alumni from leading institutions around the world to share insights, strengthen professional networks, and reflect on their academic and career journeys.

Among the attendees were several Maplewood alumni currently enrolled in or recently graduated from top-tier business programs, including Oxford, LSE, INSEAD, and Rotman. The event featured a panel discussion on “Innovation, Impact, and the Future of Global Business”, along with breakout sessions focused on entrepreneurship, emerging markets, and leadership in sustainability.

Celebrating Maplewood Excellence Abroad

The presence of Maplewood graduates at such a globally respected event is a testament to the school’s emphasis on critical thinking, leadership development, and global citizenship. Many of our former students have gone on to launch start-ups, work in finance, consult for international firms, or pursue graduate research in economic policy and business strategy.

“It was inspiring to reconnect with fellow alumni and see how far we’ve all come since our days at Maplewood. Being part of a global conversation at Oxford reminds me just how strong the foundation was that we built back home.”

— Melody Zhang, Class of 2018, MSc in Financial Economics, University of Oxford

Special Moment: Maplewood Reunited in Toronto

One highlight of the evening was an informal Maplewood alumni meet-up held at a nearby bistro following the main event. Former classmates shared updates, exchanged business ideas, and reflected on how their time at Maplewood helped shape their aspirations. A group photo outside the museum made for a perfect memento.
