Five individuals will join the MacEwan community as Doctors of the University during Spring 2024 Convocation ceremonies at the Winspear Centre, June 18 to 20.
Each of the recipients has achieved success in their career, while also contributing greatly to their profession and their community.
Anne McLellan, Annemarie Leenhouts-Petrov, Dr. Austin Albert Mardon, Dr. Ruth Collins-Nakai and Dr. Shane O'Dea will each be awarded a Doctor of the University, honoris causa, and speak to the graduating class.
"I am thrilled to welcome this diverse group of honorary doctorate recipients into the MacEwan family," says Dr. Annette Trimbee, president and vice-chancellor. "Whether through science, law, the arts or academia, their contributions to their communities are outstanding and deserve our respect and admiration. MacEwan's strategic vision, Teaching Greatness, points out that we should all strive to be trendsetters and trendbreakers - a fitting description for our newest honorary doctorate recipients."
MacEwan University awards honorary doctorates to individuals with significant achievements in their field of expertise.
