Welcome everyone to Grant MacEwan University, one of Canada’s newest and most dynamic undergraduate universities.
MacEwan is committed to providing a learning environment that places the success of its students at the very centre of its mission. Offering a combination of degrees, diplomas, and certificates, as well as non-credit courses and programs, the University provides a rich and diverse range of post-secondary educational opportunities to a broad range of learners, whether they are recent high school graduates or students looking to pursue new career and professional opportunities. We recognize that every student is different and that MacEwan has a responsibility to provide opportunities for students to discover their unique talents and to pursue what truly interests them.
We are proud that our University is named after Dr. Grant MacEwan, who is remembered as a committed environmentalist, and as someone who represents the highest standards of public service. This legacy has shaped MacEwan in its commitment to preparing its graduates for successful careers and for lives of responsible citizenship. As Edmonton’s downtown university, we recognize our role in shaping and supporting our community.
As MacEwan’s new President, I am honoured to succeed Dr. Paul Byrne, who served the institution with distinction for 15 years. I encourage potential students to consider MacEwan as your university. I know you will not be disappointed. You will discover a dynamic, ambitious institution supported by energetic and committed faculty and staff.
David W. Atkinson
President
