Angela JAMES

Director, Centre for International Management, Smith School of Business, Queen’s University

Ms. Angela has over 25 years of experience in international higher education, with roles at both the University of Waterloo and Queen’s University. For the past 20 years, she has led the growth of a small undergraduate exchange into a comprehensive global portfolio spanning undergraduate to EMBA programs. Her work now supports the academic mobility of ~1,400 students annually through exchanges, double degrees, joint master’s programs, study tours, and pathway programs. Under her leadership, 80% of undergraduate business students have completed an optional full-year exchange or double degree abroad. She championed the school’s acceptance into the PIM Network and the Council on Business & Society, and her efforts were recognized during EQUIS and AACSB reaccreditation as a hallmark of global engagement. In April 2024, Angela received the Queen’s University Staff Award for her contributions.
