MacEwan Ventures, supported by the RBC Foundation, helps budding entrepreneurs learn how to manage their business, build prototypes and pitch their ideas. Five times last year, the workshop series culminated in participating students showcasing their business to earn cash prizes used towards developing their business ideas. We also invite budding entrepreneurs in the community to participate in our workshops at no charge – this year, we also held a workshop series for Black Canadian Women in Action members. Laura Beaudin, second from right, earned the top prize in this year’s spring/summer cohort.

We celebrate our graduates twice a year as they cross the stage at the Winspear Centre and earn their credentials. Across Fall 2024 and Spring 2025 ceremonies, nearly 900 graduates from the School of Business left MacEwan’s halls and began their professional careers. Read some of their stories.

The School of Business building has officially been under construction for over a year. We looked back at some of the milestone moments, and look forward to seeing the doors open in 2027!

Each year, students can sign up for study tours through the School of Business, where they travel to another country to learn about their economy and international business. This spring, students flew to Paris to explore French culture and industry. Photo: Esmail Qureshi

Student Research Day 2025 was the biggest ever, with over 300 student presenters sharing their hard work. Several School of Business students were able to show off their projects and findings, and some even partnered with major community organizations, including Lexus of Edmonton.

Gregory Springate, associate professor and chair of the Department of Accounting and Finance, spoke to both accounting professionals and current MacEwan students at the Connecting with Tomorrow event.
