In the high-octane world of oil-patch philanthropy, the entrepreneurs who built Calgary's ARC Resources Ltd. have operated much like the company - quietly active, with a disdain for grandstanding publicity. But that low profile is being shed as the ARC team, led by co-founder Mac Van Wielingen, make a game-changing gift to the University of Calgary - a $9.5-million donation to the university's business school to embed ethical leadership in its curriculum, research and culture. The donation creates the Canadian Centre for Advanced Leadership in Business, which will serve as an umbrella body for leadership and ethics teaching and research in the Haskayne School of Business. "It allows us to really focus on putting leadership and ethics into the core curriculum," Haskayne dean Leonard Waverman says.
