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 would like to thank the Haskayne Founders' Circle members for the generous doctoral scholarship that I received. This funding enabled me to focus on my research and teaching in Fall 2023, which included working on two research papers related to the role of multinational enterprises in improving the lives of their employees and communities, and teaching the capstone strategy course for BComm students. I think that scholarships are one of the reasons that enable a superior PhD student experience at the Haskayne School of Business."
