Dr. Melanie Humphreys, President, King’s Univ.

Where Wisdom Meets Discovery: The Next Chapter at The King’s University

Aug. 17, 2026 12:00 p.m.

Universities are often measured by research grants, enrolment, or new buildings. Those matter.
But at King's, we ask an additional question: How do we educate people who will use their
knowledge wisely in service of their communities? That question is shaping everything we're
doing—from a new Centre for Excellence in Science and our new kinesiology degree to
Indigenous partnerships, student service, and preparing graduates who combine professional
excellence with character.

New to this university or want more?  Check out King's University  

Kings is located in East Edmonton on 91 Avenue and 50th Street

Dr. Melanie Humphreys President and CEO, The King's University
Dr. Melanie Humphreys is entering her fourteenth year as President and CEO of The King's University in Edmonton, Alberta. A respected leader in Canadian higher education, she is passionate about preparing graduates who combine professional excellence with wisdom, character, and a commitment to serving their communities.  Since joining King's, Melanie has led significant institutional growth, including the introduction of new academic programs, expanded community partnerships, and the development of the Centre for Excellence in Science—the largest capital project and fundraising initiative in the university's history. Opening in 2026, the Centre reflects King's vision of bringing together faith, scientific discovery, health, sustainability, and innovation to address the opportunities and challenges of a changing world.


Melanie holds a PhD in Higher Education from Azusa Pacific University and has lived and worked in four countries, teaching in nine. She currently serves as Chair of the Alberta Post-Secondary Network (APSN), representing Alberta's colleges, polytechnics, universities, and independent academic institutions. Together, APSN's member institutions educate more than 220,000 students, graduate approximately 50,000 learners each year, contribute an estimated $38 billion annually to Alberta's economy, and conduct more than $2 billion in research. 


A long-standing member of the Rotary Club of Edmonton Glenora, Melanie values Rotary's commitment to service above self and community leadership. Whether serving through Rotary or higher education, she is guided by the conviction that education is about more than preparing students for careers—it is about cultivating wisdom, fostering discovery, and equipping graduates to lead lives of purpose and service.

Lunch and Tour of Camp Yowochas

Sep. 28, 2026 12:00 p.m.

Camp Yowochas is a year round outdoor education centre and summer camp. From September to June we offer both day and overnight bookings for field trips, corporate events, holiday parties, etc.   Camp Yowochas has many areas throughout our property that they use during the course of the year: The campfire circle, Picnic Shelter, Arts & Crafts Hall, Fireside Lounge, Dry Sauna, Natural Sauna, Challenge Course Area and the Retreat Cabin.  The camp is located on the north shore of Wabamun Lake.

Since 1916, YWCA Edmonton’s Camp Yowochas has provided highly regarded outdoor education and camp programming to thousands of youths every year. At Camp Yowochas, our philosophy is that every child should have the opportunity to explore nature and develop skills for life-long personal growth.

The name Yowocohas (pronounced you-woke-us) was created by a child camper and it made up of the first two letters of the words Young Women’s Christian Association.

Meeting Details:

This meeting will involve car pooling from West Edmonton and traveling to Camp Yowochas for approximately an one hour drive.  YWCA will provide camp food for lunch.  After the tour we will return to Edmonton.   Yowocohas Map
