History

 
 

ULethbridge History

Where once was vast and open prairie now lives one of Canada's top-ranked research universities.

The Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Lethbridge exists as it does today thanks to the determined and forward-thinking citizens who believed southern Alberta warranted its own university. Their vision, tenacity and ability to unite to make the impossible possible have lived at the heart of the Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ for more than five decades.

50 Years, 50 Voices

Let it Shine On

As part of uLethbridge's 50th anniversary celebrations in 2017, alumnus John Wort Hannam (BA/BEd ’96) wrote a commemorative song for the Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬.

Let it Shine On was also preformed with the that year.

50 Voices project

Through 50 years and 50 voices, we capture our most iconic stories, as well as those yet to be told, with the help of the Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬â€™s history-makers.
