There’s no better way to decide on a major commitment than to try something on for fit. The ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge is offering just that over the next few days with a pair of Open House opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students.

Open House takes place Saturday, Oct. 21 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ’s Lethbridge campus, where nearly 700 registrants will have the opportunity to explore the ULethbridge experience in person.

On Saturday, Oct. 28, the Graduate Studies Virtual Open House will present a similar opportunity to graduate students who are looking to continue their post-secondary studies. More than 500 people have already registered for that event.

WHAT: Open House and Graduate Studies Virtual Open House

WHEN: Open House (in-person event) is Saturday, Oct. 21, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.; Virtual Graduate Open House is Saturday, Oct. 28, 9 a.m. to Noon and 3 to 6 p.m.

WHERE: ULethbridge (Lethbridge campus) and online (Graduate Open House)

“We’re thrilled with the response we’ve had in terms of registrations and are looking forward to showcasing everything ULethbridge has to offer,” says Asheley Cowie, manager, National Recruitment. “This is such a valuable opportunity for students and their families to explore our campus, meet professors, other students, graduates and staff, and really get an idea of what ULethbridge is all about. There’s nothing like a ULethbridge experience, it truly is unique and Open House will give you that sneak peek.”

In addition to being able to apply for on-the-spot admission and be entered in a draw for a $1,000 tuition credit, students can get help applying for scholarships and awards and student housing. As well, they’ll get a first look at the work-integrated and experiential learning opportunities available to all ULethbridge students, learn how they can participate in research, fine arts and athletics, and even try their hand at the stock market by participating in a trading simulation exercise. The ULethbridge Gameshow is also a chance to test your knowledge to snag some amazing prizes.

Morning and evening sessions are available for potential graduate students taking part in the Graduate Studies Virtual open House. A variety of virtual booths will be available, allowing students to interact with faculty, staff and current graduate students.

“We really wanted to give our potential graduate students the chance to get first-hand insight from those who know ULethbridge best,” says Cowie. “The virtual booths are designed to answer the key questions students need answered, all while showcasing the wide range of academic programs we have to offer, the cutting-edge research opportunities available and the student life for which we’re so well known.”

Excited to provide an in-person experience once again to prospective students and their families, the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge’s annual Open House is unlike any that’s been offered before. The event has been reimagined with input from current students, faculty members and staff — the result is a new, fun and interactive experience that showcases all ULethbridge has to offer.

Open House takes place Saturday, October 29, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the main Lethbridge campus and gives future students the chance to explore programs, careers and work-integrated learning opportunities, connect with other future students, learn what to expect in the first year of study and much more.

“We are thrilled to welcome future students and their families to campus again and engage them in the ULethbridge experience,” says Asheley Cowie, manager of national recruitment. “We have incredible opportunities, ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ and support — we want students to experience them in an entertaining, hands-on way.”

While the basics of Open House remain, such as campus tours, the chance to explore programs and student services through information sessions, and the ability to apply for on-the-spot admission, a host of fun and engaging activities have been added to the jam-packed day. The highlight — a Crack the Code challenge that takes students through Science Commons and once completed correctly, enters them in a draw for one semester of tuition.

“People from all areas of ULethbridge have joined together to create an interactive and special day we think future students will love. Participants can explore music technology software, participate in a financial trading simulation, learn how to bead from an Indigenous artisan, test their knowhow by starting their own business or even build a tower out of marshmallows,” adds Cowie. “And of course, all our colleagues are eager to answer questions about programs, work-integrated and experiential learning opportunities, student supports and anything else they want to know!”

High school students who apply for admission before October 31, 2022, are eligible to win a $1,000 tuition credit. Open House is for anyone considering post-secondary studies or graduate school.

Anticipating more physical doors opening in the fall, the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge will throw open its virtual doors to prospective students on Saturday, May 6 for the annual spring open house.

uLethbridge Virtual Open House - Spring 2021 takes place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., offering potential students and their families a glimpse of everything the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ offers. The U of L held its first fully virtual open house in September 2020 and while a return to an in-person experience is desired, the virtual space offers new opportunities to connect with students and their families, all from the comfort of home, via desktop, laptop, tablet or phone connections.

“We obviously want to welcome students to our campus because there is no better way to understand the U of L experience than by being immersed in this incredible setting and talking face-to-face with the faculty and staff who steward the unique culture we have here,” says Kathleen Massey, the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ’s associate vice-president (students). “I know we learned a lot from our first virtual presentation, and we also were able to reach quite a few more people who otherwise may not have been able to connect with us, so we’re excited about hosting everyone again on Saturday.”

All of the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ’s Faculties and schools will be represented at Open House. Information sessions about U of L programs and admission, student services and opportunities, as well as ways students can enhance their studies and experience are all part of the online package. There’s also the opportunity for potential students to take part in one-on-one meetings with faculty members, instructors, staff and current students.

“We’ve designed the morning to allow everyone a glimpse of the entire U of L experience,” adds Massey. “There’s so much opportunity when you come to the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ, we want our prospective students and their families to see all the doors that begin to open with a U of L education.”

Qualified domestic undergraduate applicants who apply any time before March 8, 2021 will receive a chance to win a $1,000 tuition credit.
