A great day on the course yesterday at the 2026 Cougar Classic, presented by Rogers Business! ⛳️🐾

MRU Alumni was proud to sponsor Hole 17 with the support of TD Insurance, where we welcomed golfers to the Alumni Villa. It was fantastic to connect with so many alumni, faculty and friends throughout the day in support of student-athletes at Mount Royal University.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by the Villa and helped make this year’s Cougar Classic one to remember, and a special thank you to our student-athlete volunteers, Temi and Jackson, who entertained golfers all day!

Episode 7 of the Always Blue Podcast is live!

Join host Timothy Rahilly and co-host Meg Wilcox as they sit down with MRU psychology professor Dan Devoe to explore his engaging, “Costco-sample” approach to teaching complex science and research methods.

The conversation dives into pressing topics surrounding student well-being, the rise of self-diagnosis, and how concepts like “social fuel” can help combat modern isolation.

Dr. Devoe also shares a look into his creative side as a children’s book author and illustrator, explaining how he weaves lessons on resilience and companionship into whimsical stories.

As National Nursing Week comes to a close, take a moment to read about nursing tales from times past and present!

From Mount Royal’s first graduating class in 1969 to students preparing to cross the stage this spring, their stories show how nursing continues to evolve while staying grounded in human connection.

Thank you again to Anne Kendrew, Rachael Edwards and Hamza Echchoujaa for sharing your experiences and perspectives with the MRU community.

Each spring, National Nursing Week invites Canadians to reflect on and recognize the impact of nurses. This year, the week runs from May 11 to 17 and is themed “The Power of Nurses to Transform Health.”

Mount Royal University offers a powerful lens on that impact, one shaped by generations of nurses whose skill, compassion and leadership continue to transform care.

The legacy of MRU nursing alumni began in June of 1969, and nearly 60 years later, Anne Kendrew of that same class sits across from two MRU nurses of different generations: Rachael Edwards (class of 2011) and Hamza Echchoujaa (class of 2026). The trio has returned to where it all began to share their stories: on campus, in the nursing lab, surrounded by ECG monitors and hospital beds that speak to how much has changed, and what has not.
