U of L Calgary campus temporarily relocated to U of C

Due to the flooding in Calgary and the continuing challenges posed by the current closure of Bow Valley College, the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge Calgary Campus has found temporary instructional space in order to proceed with Summer Session II/III classes.

The ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Calgary has agreed to host the U of L Calgary Campus until we are able to return to our home in Bow Valley College. Our estimated return to BVC is unknown at this time, but we are hopeful that we will know more in the coming days. The ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Calgary's address is: 2500 ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ Drive NW, Calgary, AB T2N 1N4.

On Tuesday, July 2, 2013 the Calgary Campus administrative team began setting up temporary office space at the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Calgary that will be accessible to students and instructors. Our temporary space is located on the 2nd floor of the MacKimmie Link, behind the escalators and staircase. In this space, we will be able to provide support for Summer Session II/III.

Faculty, staff and students affected by this relocation have been communicated to directly by e-mail.

Administrative staff have been assigned temporary ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Calgary telephone numbers. Currently, these telephones are only a line out/line in configuration with no voicemail capabilities. If you wish to leave a message, we recommend you send an email. The numbers are as follows:

Lorne Williams: 403-210-9353

Krista Strome: 403-210-9357
Tracy Fairs: 403-210-9372
Mark Matias: 403-210-9378

On behalf of the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge, I would like to extend gratitude to the faculty and staff who have been working very hard to accommodate this challenging situation. I also want to express appreciation to our students for their patience and understanding. Finally, I want to thank the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Calgary for welcoming us to their campus and for the outstanding support they have been providing to us.

U of L's Calgary Campus in new administrative space

trevor.kenney — Thu, 03 Jan 2013 15:58:51 +0000

The ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge, Calgary Campus, has finished moving into new administrative space.

Now serving students from the 6th floor of Bow Valley College's South Campus, the U of L team enjoys high quality professional space with room to grow.

"Relocating allows us to serve students more effectively," says Dana Corbin, Calgary Campus manager. "By being closer to classrooms, we have the ability to offer convenience to our students and more support to our instructional staff."

The new offices now share a building with classrooms, printing services, a cafeteria, Tim Horton's and the BVC bookstore. Connected by more than 15 walkways to more classrooms and the downtown core, the new facilities offer a unique campus environment and enhance the student experience.

This move has been in the planning stages since the Calgary Campus moved to the downtown core in 2011. As a member of the Campus Alberta South Partnership, the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge will work closely with Athabasca ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ, Olds College and Bow Valley College in the new facility.

All telephone numbers and e-mail addresses will remain the same. The new mailing address is as follows:

��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge, Calgary Campus
6th Floor
345 6th Avenue S.E.
Calgary, Alberta T2G 4V1

President's Awards honour service excellence

The President's Award for Service Excellence is awarded annually to an administrative staff member or team in recognition of their provision of exceptional service to the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge and members of the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ community.

This year, two awards were presented at the Long Service and Retirement Recognition ceremonies, which took place May 4.

AUPE Award

Their service is especially worthy of recognition in the current year due to the Calgary campus moving from SAIT to Bow Valley College. This move involved much more than simply transporting boxes and furniture. In Calgary, the staff closed operations at SAIT and redeveloped relationships and operating procedures with Bow Valley College. This entire move was handled seamlessly by the administrative staff and despite some challenges, the transition took place with high morale and minimal impact to students.

APO/Exempt Award

This year's APO/EXEMPT recipient is Jamie Chinn (BSc '03), a Senior Business Systems Analyst in the IT Department.

importantly had an innate ability to involve the right people, ask the right questions and look at technology with a business-centric point of view.

Chinn's sense of humour, worth ethic, diplomacy and pragmatism led him to his current role. He continues to be recognized as a pleasure to work with and as a provider of well-thought-out solutions who goes above and beyond the call of duty to guarantee that technical services are working smoothly.

Chinn joined the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ in 2004, and although he worked somewhat in obscurity initially, like any best-kept secret it soon became apparent that he was someone who not only could get things done but more importantly had an innate ability to involve the right people, ask the right questions and look at technology with a business-centric point of view.

Chinn's sense of humour, worth ethic, diplomacy and pragmatism led him to his current role. He continues to be recognized as a pleasure to work with and as a provider of well-thought-out solutions who goes above and beyond the call of duty to guarantee that technical services are working smoothly.
