Welcome to MacEwan!

I’m so thrilled you’ll be joining our university community, here in Edmonton’s vibrant downtown. This community is now yours to explore and embrace as a new MacEwan student.

We like to say MacEwan students are Grand as Griffins. To us, it’s not just about our university mascot, Griff. It’s also about how we do things around here: how students study and collaborate, how our professors teach and engage students, how our staff support the educational journey of each student – and how we all show up in our community for ourselves and each other.

As you find your way here – around campus, your classrooms and your program – I encourage you to explore what Grand as a Griffin means to you.

There are amazing opportunities at MacEwan. Add to your experience by joining a student group, attending events, using our many services, participating in intramural sports, volunteering – I could go on.  

One thing that is certain – your MacEwan education will change your life.

You are at the beginning of an incredibly rich journey. I wish you all the best!
