Today, we’re proud to announce MacEwan’s new Triffo School of Business @triffoschool , named in honour of Ron Triffo – a visionary leader, community builder and longtime supporter of #MacEwanU.
His gift marks a major milestone for the university and the largest contribution to the #MacEwanMeansBusiness campaign to date. It also reflects something deeper: a belief in education as a starting point for opportunity, growth and community impact.
From helping grow @stantec into a global company to championing access to education, Triffo’s legacy is rooted in building – businesses, communities and futures.
Now, that legacy will help shape what comes next for MacEwan students, alumni and the city at large.
