Ann Norford (BA '10) started university at 65 years old after she and her husband retired in Lethbridge.

"As a wife and mother coming of age after World War II, I did not have the opportunity to pursue my own education as a young woman," says Norford, who emigrated from England in 1965. She and her husband spent time in other parts of the country before settling in Lethbridge.

"The U of L campus itself had an openness that encouraged me," says Norford of the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ. Her first impression was confirmed when she met with admissions officers and student advisors who provided the support and encouragement she needed.

"Although I was a senior when I returned to school, no one thought I was crazy for wanting a degree at my age," she says. "I was pleasantly surprised by the admiration and respect I received from my professors and my peers."

Norford graduated in 2010 with distinction.

"I am grateful I had the opportunity to pursue a university education. I give back to my university to express my gratitude."
