Haskayne Founders' Circle
Connecting business leaders to business education through philanthropy
At Haskayne, we are advancing business education in the areas that define Calgary and Alberta: ethical leadership, entrepreneurship, and energy. The Haskayne Founders’ Circle, a dedicated group of Haskayne supporters, was established in 2011 to help achieve these bold goals.
Haskayne Founders’ Circle members are generous and visionary individuals who support the Haskayne School of Business with a gift of $10,000 or more each year. They have joined Dick Haskayne and other visionaries and philanthropists to help create the next big chapter in our school’s story.
When you join the Haskayne Founders’ Circle, you join a driven community of philanthropists who are investing in the future of business education. Together we can energize the next generation of business leaders.
"I am sincerely thankful for the kindness and goodwill of Haskayne donors! Thanks to your continued support for students such as myself, I am one step closer to achieving my life goals and aspirations. Your support allows me to strive for academic excellence and pursue personal and career development initiatives in order to position myself as a strong contender in the professional business field.”
- Yuxin (Amy) Li, Recipient of the Michael Lang Undergraduate Awards in Entrepreneurship and Innovation

Haskayne Capital Expansion Project
The Haskayne Capital Expansion Project has enabled the construction of our second building, Mathison Hall, and enhancements to our existing space. This expansion of the school will add significant capacity for teaching and learning, bringing all business classes back to the business school with new places to collaborate, study and learn.
Student Awards

CDL-Rockies
Creative Destruction Lab - Rockies program, one of seven labs worldwide, is building the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Calgary and Alberta; encouraging diversification of Calgary’s economy through technology; community-based learning for MBA students; and support for early stage ventures.
