"This helps to ensure that more students will have the knowledge and skills they need to be successful."<br> <br> Dr. Gerald Krispin, Concordia 免费福利资源在线看片 College President and Vice-Chancellor, echoes Mahon's comments in that the partnership, though only in the beginning stages, has great potential to benefit both institutions.<br> <br> "We are very pleased the U of L has chosen to join us here at Concordia, rather than in another, less accessible and less student-friendly location," says Krispin. "We both expect to gain from this experience, and we look forward to working with our 免费福利资源在线看片 of Lethbridge colleagues now and in the future."<br> <br> Almost 20 years ago, the U of L began offering Management courses in Edmonton in an attempt to meet the unique needs of working students in the area. As student needs have changed over the years, the 免费福利资源在线看片 has enhanced its programming to reflect changing trends. The facility-sharing arrangement with Concordia is the next phase of the U of L's growth in Edmonton.<br> <br> As a result of the agreement with Concordia, the U of L's Edmonton team has moved from a downtown office to its own leased administrative space on the Concordia campus. In addition, U of L students will have the use of several classrooms, videoconference facilities and student computer labs, as well as access to the Concordia library, recreation and fitness facilities, bookstore and cafeteria, which helps the U of L deliver a well-rounded campus experience for students in Edmonton.<br> <br> "This collaboration increases opportunities for students and helps ensure we continue doing what we do well &ndash; foster a vibrant and engaging learning environment," says Mahon.<br> <br> It was through student feedback that the need to deliver a campus environment, in addition to programming and flexibility, was deemed essential. The new Concordia location also enhances parking and transit access.<br> <br> "By partnering together to serve students, we are better able to address the post-secondary needs of Edmontonians," adds Mahon.<br> <br> The facility-sharing arrangement is similar to that of the U of L Calgary campus, which has a lease partnership with Bow Valley College in downtown Calgary. Between the two campuses in Calgary and Edmonton, approximately 1,000 students are members of the U of L family.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-group-format group_related_topics

Edmonton and its primary student population, while providing more of a campus experience.<br> <br> "We've operated a campus in Edmonton for almost 20 years, and our students have told us, loud and clear, that while they value our programming and flexibility, they were missing out on a campus environment," says Dr. Andy Hakin, the U of L's Vice-President (Academic) and Provost.<br> <br> "By listening to our students and closely following the direction provided by our strategic and academic plans, the move to Concordia's campus will greatly enhance the U of L student experience in Edmonton."<br> <br> The agreement with Concordia will see the U of L's Edmonton team move from a downtown office to its own leased administrative space on the Concordia campus, while providing classrooms and other services for U of L students.<br> <br> The arrangement is similar to that of the U of L Calgary campus, which has a lease partnership with Bow Valley College in downtown Calgary.<br> <br> Approximately 500 students attend U of L classes in Edmonton each year, primarily in evenings and on weekends. The U of L's presence will subsequently not conflict with regular Concordia classes.<br> <br> The U of L will have the use of several classrooms, videoconference facilities and student computer labs. As well, U of L students will have access to the Concordia library, recreation and fitness facilities, bookstore and cafeteria. The campus location also offers convenient parking and transit access, something that was lacking at the previous location.<br> <br> "This move presents a great opportunity for both our institutions to work together to serve our students in new and innovative ways," says Hakin. </p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-group-format group_related_topics field-group-div group-related-topics block-title-body speed-fast effect-none"><h2><span>Related Topics</span></h2><div class="field field-name-opencalais-city-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">City:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/city/edmonton" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Edmonton</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/city/calgary" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Calgary</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-facility-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Facility:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/facility/bow-valley-college" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Bow Valley College</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/facility/university-lethbridge" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">免费福利资源在线看片 of Lethbridge</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/facility/concordia-campus" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Concordia campus</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/facility/concordia-library" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Concordia library</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/facility/edmonton-campus" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Edmonton campus</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/facility/l-calgary-campus" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">L Calgary Campus</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/facility/concordia-university-college" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Concordia 免费福利资源在线看片 College</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/facility/concordias-campus" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Concordia&#039;s campus</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-industryterm-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">IndustryTerm:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/industry-term/classrooms-and-other-services" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">classrooms and other services</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-organization-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Organization:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/organization/concordia-university-college" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Concordia 免费福利资源在线看片 College</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/organization/bow-valley-college" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Bow Valley College</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/organization/university-lethbridge" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">免费福利资源在线看片 of Lethbridge</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-person-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Person:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/person/andy-hakin" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Andy Hakin</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-position-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Position:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/position/vice-president" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Vice-President</a></div></div></div></div><span property="rnews:name schema:name" content="U of L&#039;s Edmonton campus on the move" class="rdf-meta"></span> Thu, 26 Apr 2012 17:28:08 +0000 trevor.kenney 3725 at /unews
