From the president: Research matters at MacEwan

MacEwan Today

We acknowledge that the land on which we gather in Treaty Six Territory is the traditional gathering place for many Indigenous people. We honour and respect the history, languages, ceremonies and culture of the First Nations, Métis and Inuit who call this territory home.

The First People’s connection to the land teaches us about our inherent responsibility to protect and respect Mother Earth. With this acknowledgement, we honour the ancestors and children who have been buried here, missing and murdered Indigenous women and men, and the process of ongoing collective healing for all human beings. We are reminded that we are all treaty people and of the responsibility we have to one another.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved research and it’s why I wanted to be a scientist. The curiosity that drives people to question and reframe how we look at the world using critical thinking is tremendously exciting to me.

April marked our Month of Scholarship, where we learned about and celebrated the research and creative activity of MacEwan faculty and students.

Please take a few minutes to read why research is important to MacEwan in my column on MacEwan.ca

President and Vice-Chancellor
