MacEwan alumni define success
Our alumni are making incredible impacts here in Edmonton and around the world. From building businesses to changing lives through the arts, health care and research, MacEwan grads are shaping communities, leading industries and inspiring the next generation.
Our grads include local and international business and community leaders, stars of stage and screen, internationally recognized researchers—and even a Nobel prize winner.
After you graduate, you can choose to continue to post‑grad studies, conduct incredible research or return for another credential later in your career. A MacEwan education helps you on whatever path you choose–and might inspire you to forge a new one in an unexpected direction.
Some of our alumni are right here on campus, working as faculty and staff or as visitors to campus, returning to hold workshops, exhibitions and classroom visits to share their experience and expertise with current students.
