At MacEwan University, we believe in Teaching Greatness. This belief doesn’t end within our classrooms; it extends to our commitment to building a better community through the United Way campaign.

Our dedication to exceptional undergraduate teaching aligns seamlessly with our mission to create pathways out of poverty, making a lasting impact on the lives of those in need. With our students facing escalated costs of living, we’re rallying once more to make a difference in our community and help create pathways out of poverty.

The United Way campaign typically runs for two weeks in November.
When we empower our students and our community to reach their full potential, everyone benefits. This campaign is an opportunity for us to work together to create a lasting impact.
