As we near the end of the Winter 2022 term, we look back at the events and activities that kept us inspired and connected to each other.

See what we were up to in this month's photo gallery.

Theatre students jumps into the air

Dance rehearsal is one place where Theatre Arts students don't always have to keep their feet on the ground. Here, students rehearsed their fancy footwork in preparation for The Drowsy Chaperone.

It's showtime! The Drowsy Chaperone, winner of five Tony Awards, runs March 30 to April 3 in front of a live audience. The Faculty of Fine Arts and Communications made the performance even more special by donating ticket sales from the April 1 performance to support the people of Ukraine through the Canada-Ukraine Foundation.

Cared for by staff at the Strathcona Raptor Centre, the bird took flight on newly mended wings on April 6 at Hawrelak Park. View the timeline of MacEwan's 50-year history here.
