What if you could ensure your child would never get Crohn’s disease? Or what if you could choose their hair colour? Or make sure they would have perfect eyesight? What may seem like science fiction to us now is just the beginning of what could be possible due to...
The MacEwan University student missing in Nice, France after a person driving a truck killed 84 people has been identified. Twenty-two-year-old Mykhaylo "Misha" Bazelevskyy has been missing since the attack, and his whereabouts are currently unknown. He was one of...
MacEwan University’s new Centre for the Arts and Culture building has been under construction for over a year. With its fall 2017 grand opening looming closer, one wonders what will become of the old Centre for Arts and Communications (CFAC), which has been a...

“Honest politician” is an oxymoron. During the election, hopes are high and candidates are optimistic about the future, so they make promises that are sometimes difficult to keep. Rachel Notley’s optimism won over voters in the 2015 election, but the consensus...
Recently, I watched a time-lapsed video of Nicholas White, a man stuck in an elevator for 41 hours. It was 11 p.m. when he took an elevator down the McGraw-Hill Building in New York, heading down to smoke a cigarette. Instead, he was holed up in a square room, with...
On Oct. 16, Dr. Carolee Pollock, a history professor at MacEwan University, gave a presentation on a hot topic that is on many MacEwan students’ minds: voting. But she didn’t just talk about voting in general, or why you should vote. Instead, she focused on the...
