The Real U What should you look for in your university experience?

University is an exciting time. It’s a time to pursue your interests, explore the world, make new friends and discover opportunities you didn’t know you had.

When you’re choosing a university, look for a place that both challenges and supports you. Look for a place that encourages you to be yourself, yet pushes you to new limits. Look for a place where you can ask your professor questions, learn in hands-on ways and take a range of classes that count towards your degree.

With more than 8,000 students, the University of Lethbridge is large enough to provide you with rich opportunities yet small enough to remain dedicated to a personal experience. It’s a place that can bring out the best in you.

Look for Opportunities Your university experience should provide an excellent education in an engaging environment. The U of L is a research-intensive university, which means that your professors know the latest and greatest in their fields. It’s grounded in liberal education, which means that you take a range of different classes. You’re exposed to a breadth and depth of knowledge that will help you succeed, regardless of your chosen profession.

At the U of L, you can learn in different ways. You can learn through hands-on activities, community projects, study-abroad programs, co-op experiences and even helping professors directly with their research.

“ One of the great things about being a U of L student is the liberal education options. Even though I’m a management student, I was able to participate

Lauren Taal | Social Science | Social Studies Education “ The environment here is more personable than at some other bigger universities.

The class sizes are just right, and with the new 1st Choice Savings Centre for Sport and Wellness, it was the ideal choice for me.”

Why did you choose the U of L? I chose the U of L because being from Lethbridge, I felt it was the right place for me. The university is great and close to home. I like that I can still see my family and friends and go to school. I really liked that it is smaller than most universities.

The environment here is more personable then at some other bigger universities. The class sizes are just right, and with the new 1st Choice Savings Centre for Sport and Wellness, it was the ideal choice for me. Being a basketball player, I had to look at where I would fit into that program as well.

What do you like best about the U of L? I like that it is small enough that you can get to know people well. I had many classes in which I started the semester knowing no one. By the end

How did you choose your major?

It wasn’t an easy decision. I changed my major at least a dozen times in the first two years. It finally came down to realizing that what I enjoyed most was working with children. My part-time job as a swim coach helped me realize this.

What do you plan to do with your degree?

I hope to have my own elementary classroom one day. I can see myself doing many other things such as working with children and schools overseas, and helping build and develop schools in underdeveloped countries.

Do you have any advice for prospective students?

Never give up. If you don’t like a class in a particular field, try a class in another area. Try a little bit of everything – you may discover an interest you didn’t know you had.

What do you like best about the U of L? I like the professors – many of them make learning fun and interesting. I also appreciate the opportunities the campus offers such as trips during reading week and being able to go abroad to complete my third teaching practicum.

â&#x20AC;&#x153; Coming into university is a big step. The professors and the counsellors were all very helpful and were able to answer any questions I had. Everyone was very approachable.â&#x20AC;?

• Assessment of your interests and skills • Exploration of career opportunities • Career decision-making strategies • Development of career goals

Favourite weekend getaway: Waterton Lakes National Park Why did you choose the U of L? I originally chose the U of L for the Faculty of Education. I was very interested in teaching and they have a good education program.

I also liked the idea of the small class sizes at the U of L. I can’t imagine taking a class with several hundred people – in some cases not even being able to see your instructor.

What do you plan to do with your degree?

I have several options, and I feel I need more experience before I decide what to do. In addition to the possibility of teaching, I may pursue a creative direction in communications or marketing.

Do you have any advice for prospective students?

My biggest piece of advice is get involved. It doesn’t matter what you’re interested in – you can always find something. Keep an eye out for Rush Week, when the various clubs set up tables and recruit new members.

My other advice for new students is to remember to prioritize. University is a big change and it’s a constant balancing act.

What do you like best about the U of L? I’ve lived in residence for four years and love it. The people you meet and the social community can’t be beat. There are social events going on all the time, and you’re right at the heart of the campus. You can’t help but get involved.

Christine Joseph Clerk for Chief Justice of Canada Beverley McLachlin U of L experience: BA in political science Graduated in 2004 Christine Joseph (BA ’04) is currently in Ottawa where she has her dream job – she is the clerk for Chief Justice of Canada Beverley McLachlin. Joseph’s work focuses on a small number of cases dealing with issues of national importance.

During her time at the U of L, Joseph says she enjoyed the small class sizes and range of programs available – a good thing for someone with far-reaching interests in management, medicine, dentistry and political science.

A course in constitutional law taught by political science professor Dr. Peter McCormick helped her decide to pursue law.

After graduating from the U of L, Joseph attended the University of Victoria, Faculty of Law, and graduated with the Law Society’s Gold Medal.

“ I took a lot of different undergraduate courses before I really found my direction. Law is a demanding area, and I like that it is constantly evolving. The law is not black and white – it is many shades of grey.”

As a co-op student working as an agricultural engineering research assistant with Alberta Agriculture and Food, one of Duban’s projects was to develop a standardized method to measure biodiesel mixtures. His research culminated in a paper he presented to the International Meeting of the American Society of Agriculture and Biology Engineers in Portland, Oregon.

“ I didn’t think my classes would be directly useful. But now that I’m running my own business, I’m applying a lot of my skills and knowledge.”

Justin Duban President and Founder, Refuel Bioproducts Corporation U of L experience: BSc in agricultural studies; co-op designation Graduated in 2006 As founder of Refuel Bioproduct Corporation, Justin Duban (BSc ’06) built a pilot biodiesel plant on his parents’ farm and is now setting up a commercial-scale plant near Nobleford, AB.

Excited by the potential of biofuel, a few days after graduating from the U of L, Duban began testing his business ideas, enrolling in the Chinook Entrepreneur Challenge.

He spent the summer developing a plan for the Agri-Business category and took first prize. He then entered two other similar competitions, the VenturePrize Alberta Student Business Plan Competition and the Student Innovation Technology Competition.

After refining his business plan with the help of U of L management professors Bruce Thurston and Dan Kazakoff, Duban won both competitions.

“ The University of Lethbridge is where it all began for me.

The small class sizes, intimate learning environment and exceptional mentors afforded me the opportunities to develop as a scientist and researcher. The U of L is a first-class institution of higher learning, and I would not be where I am today without it.”
