On April 12, 2019 the Dhillon School of Business honoured Ralph A. Thrall III and the McIntyre Ranch for the 2019 Scholarship Dinner.

Thrall is the current president, CEO and COO of the McIntyre Ranch, a 55,680-acre beef cattle ranch located in the Milk River Ridge country, around 40 km east of Cardston in Alberta. The Dhillon School of business recognizes that Thrall’s commitment to sustainability has allowed him to effectively manage a successful ranching business, it has contributed to environmental conservation and it has benefited the local community and beyond.
