Welcome

Here’s to a fantastic academic year!

There are exciting things afoot at uLethbridge.

We are delighted to welcome students back to campus after a year and a half of uncertainty. Not only will we welcome our newly admitted students to campus, but also those who joined us via online learning last September. You know better than most how challenging this pandemic has been for students and educators. We commend you for your perseverance and your dedication to the next generation of decisionmakers.

I am so thankful for our incredible recruitment team, navigating the transition from in-person to online. They quickly learned how to build webpages, translate their presentations and develop engaging materials for a high school audience. They continued to guide our future students and help them transition successfully to university during a time of constant flux. We have had a few changes to our team, including Carrie Allinson taking over as the new manager of national recruitment, as Susan Bakker assumed her new role as assistant registrar of admissions and transfer. We also welcomed two new recruitment officers this summer. Amy Lambert is in charge of recruitment in BC and Jessica Jones will be based in Calgary and overseeing recruitment in Northern Alberta.

I hope this academic year is stable and productive for us all, and that our materials are helpful in guiding your students through the adventurous journey of post-secondary. We are here to support you and your students in any way we can.
