MacEwan University is pleased to launch the search for our next Chancellor, a pivotal role that bridges the university with the wider community. With Chancellor Tony Fields completing his term as our inaugural Chancellor in June 2025, we are now accepting nominations for this esteemed position.

The Chancellor serves as the ceremonial head of the university, elected by MacEwan’s Board of Governors to a four-year term. This voluntary role is vital in bringing an external perspective to MacEwan and supporting our commitment to Teaching Greatness. An advisor and support to the President, the Chancellor also serves as an active proponent of the university, engaging in university and community events.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Representing MacEwan University at ceremonial events and key community occasions
  • Serving as an ex-officio member of the Board of Governors, contributing to the university’s governance
  • Presiding over Convocation ceremonies and conferring degrees, including honorary degrees

 Nominations are now open, with the successful candidate expected to be appointed in the spring and formally installed in July 2025. For more information on the Chancellor’s responsibilities and the nomination process, please visit our website.

Thank you for your support in this exciting chapter for MacEwan University.

 Sincerely,

Carolyn Graham
Chair, Board of Governors
