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.

creations to community-based scholarship,
these students are trendsetters and trend
breakers, pursuing new hypotheses and asking
new questions. Students can also publish their
findings in the MacEwan University Student
eJournal (MUSe).
Depending on your program, your research
will likely involve much more than spreadsheets
or data. Many of our faculties and schools
are home to unique facilities dedicated to
hands-on learning and research opportunities.
MacEwan’s Undergraduate Student Research
Initiative (USRI) also provides grants to
students looking to pursue their own research
in their academic field. We can help you apply
for external research awards and research
studentships, both provincially and federally.
Several of our faculty have received federal
funding to pursue research in their area of
expertise. Many of them provide opportunities
for students to get involved in their work
or with research of their own. Bringing in
student researchers allows faculty members
to benefit from a wider array of opinions and
interpretations in the research process while
forging great working relationships.

Upgrade your hobbies or find a new passion in our
