In a competitive world, the ability to think critically, innovate and solve problems is key to success. At uLethbridge, our philosophy is to provide you with an in-depth education in your chosen field while helping you develop both a broader awareness of the world and the skills to apply that knowledge.

This is liberal education.

Liberal education teaches you HOW to think, not WHAT to think. You gain skills such as big-picture thinking, adaptability, problem-solving, effective communication and information literacy, so you will be able to navigate a rapidly changing labour market.

It also encourages you to be an active citizen in your community and a lifelong learner.

For Jace Briand, this approach has opened windows into areas of knowledge he never dreamed possible.

“A good education is a broad education and uLethbridge will provide you with opportunities to take yours much further and apply it to your world,” says Jace.

With the close support of his professors, Jace is customizing his university education by taking a

multidisciplinary approach, helping him build bridges between different fields. In fact, Jace spent the summer in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on a work-study through our Dhillon School of Business — even though he is not enrolled in a Bachelor of Management program. Jace received a hands-on, immersive international business experience, while developing business theory skills through academic projects.

“What I’ve found is everything fits together if you just step back and think about it, even areas that seem like they are on opposite ends of the knowledge spectrum,” he says. “I want to help different groups like the sciences and humanities reach a shared understanding and work together.”

“I didn’t choose uLethbridge because of the liberal education philosophy, but it’s why I stayed.”

Clear your he fill your mind From our extraordinary campus and facilities, to student services, academic programs, small class sizes and beyond, students are central to all we do at uLethbridge.

We will help you transition to university life through events like Ahead of the Herd and New Student Orientation. You’ll be officially welcomed to the uLethbridge family of scholars at Commencement, and most importantly, you’ll continue to receive the support you need to succeed throughout your time at uLethbridge.

After finishing high school in her home province of Saskatchewan, Kylie Fineday joined the workforce but never gave up on her dream of becoming an artist. Coming to uLethbridge gave her that chance.

“The great thing about uLethbridge is the classes are small enough that everyone gets a lot of time with their professors, plus having my own studio space and access to the incredible art facilities has made me really enjoy pursuing studio art.”

Kylie says her uLethbridge experience has not only supported her artistic development, but has introduced her to ways of working in the arts outside of the studio.

This past year she completed an internship with the uLethbridge Art Gallery, where she curated an exhibition including works from current students as well as artworks from the gallery’s collection.

“It’s been an amazing experience getting to see what is in the University art collection and learning about everything that goes into creating an exhibition.”

That experience helped Kylie land a summer job at the gallery where she worked as a curatorial assistant, giving her even more valuable hands-on experience. Recently, the uLethbridge Art Gallery received a bequest of more than 1,000 artworks from the estate of Dr. Margaret (Marmie) Perkins Hess (DFA ‘04), including works by international artists like Henri Matisse, renowned Canadians like Emily Carr and more than 400 pieces by Indigenous artists. Kylie helped assess the value of the collection, catalogued the new acquisitions and installed a portion of the exhibition showcasing the collection in the main gallery space.

“It’s such an impressive gift and I think it’s great to see a lot of Indigenous representation alongside the big Canadian and international names. It’s been a great learning opportunity, and it’s really exciting to be involved with something so big for the University community.”

After finishing at uLethbridge, Kylie plans to explore artist residencies where she can continue her practice and look for more opportunities to work in galleries or museums.

“Having the opportunity to gain practical experience through the museum studies internship has been incredible. In the art studio program, I’ve also learned a lot about engaging with peers and the arts community and have made so many great connections.”

Kaden Fujita

Bachelor of Science student Major: Biological Sciences

At uLethbridge, students play a key role in the discoveries they learn about in the classroom. By participating in the investigative journey, your learning goes beyond the theory to practical application.

As you participate in research, your creativity grows and your confidence to handle future academic challenges skyrockets.

You gain critical-thinking and communication skills that will help you in advanced studies or in the workplace. You’ll also have the opportunity to work with some of the world’s most accomplished researchers.

From his first year at uLethbridge, Kaden Fujita was part of the research internship concentration (RIC), that allows students in biological sciences to develop research skills and participate in unique and current research projects throughout their degree.

“Being a member of the research concentration has played a huge role in how much I have enjoyed being a biology major,” explains Kaden. “You get to learn how to do research, read the literature, design your own experiments and do hands-on work.”

Research and Development Centre. There, Kaden looked at ways wheat can be genetically modified to make it more disease-resistant. He later presented a paper on his findings at the Undergraduate Research in Science Conference of Alberta, that gives students a chance to engage with faculty and see what research projects other undergraduate students are working on.

This summer, Kaden was back in the lab to work with Dr. Tony Russell on a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC)-funded project researching single-cell organisms called euglena and how they regulate their cellular functions, a project with potential implications for future research in biotechnology.

“It's pretty cool to think that I could someday get to a point where the research I'm doing could have a positive effect on the world,” says Kaden. “I don't know if I’d get that opportunity anywhere else.”

Participating in RIC led to a chance to work on a research project at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s Lethbridge

“At uLethbridge I get hands-on experience and am able to talk with professors about research and engage with them almost as peers.”

Developing tools for a successful life doesn’t just happen in the classroom. At uLethbridge, we help you find inspiring opportunities to help you on your path… even if that means changing direction.

Though she came to university with plans to become a psychologist, Leila Methot soon became interested in a career in human resources. But as a uLethbridge student, Leila didn’t have to choose between the two.

“I went from pursuing a degree in psychology, to adding a second degree in human resources and labour relations at the uLethbridge Dhillon School of Business,” says Leila.

The Dhillon School of Business offers six combined degrees programs, allowing students to complete two degrees in less time than it would to take them separately. Students develop a strong foundation in business knowledge in addition to another core area of study; this gives our students an advantage in a competitive job market.

Hands-on learning helps students apply classroom knowledge to experiences like co-operative education job placements, international exchanges, and professional development opportunities like interactive workshops and networking events.

Leila credits her co-operative education placements ­­— including stints with retail chain Bootlegger and Lethbridge Family Services — as well as her involvement in the Management Students’ Society for helping stoke her interest in the field while also providing good opportunities for networking.

If education is a journey toward a career, Leila shows that it’s not always a straight line.

“When you come to university, you don’t have to have everything planned out,” she says. “With a liberal education at uLethbridge, you’re able to talk to professors in different disciplines and you really get to understand your interests and your dislikes and what you want to pursue. And it’s ok to change your program to find out what it is you really love.”

“It’s not all about your grades, or sitting in a classroom, or studying and doing homework; it’s about meeting people and making connections.”

Local, regional, national or international internships and work experiences are available in areas directly related to your degree. uLethbridge students have completed internships at Alberta Health Services, the Canadian Space Agency, Environment Canada, Imperial Oil, the Smithsonian Museum in Washington and more!

Preceptorships To bridge the gap between the classroom and clinic, nursing students are immersed in a 13-week work experience in a clinical setting under the guidance of an experienced registered nurse.

Independent studies If you have a passion to study a particular theme or topic but don’t find a course offered in that area, you can develop your own research project with the professor of your choice. Independent studies are self-directed and your grade will be based on a major research paper or project.

Practicums Education students receive 27 weeks of off-campus practicum experience, teaching in multiple settings, such as elementary and secondary schools. That’s more than twice the amount of time required for teacher certification in Alberta! You will leave your practicum confident and prepared for almost any classroom situation.

Study abroad and exchanges Does heading to Australia, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, the United Kingdom or the United States interest you? uLethbridge has exchange programs, summer study tours and international internships that allow you to gain academic credit and see the world.

“Coming from the north, I’m really interested in issues around food security and I plan to return there when I finish the program and pursue a career to address it.”

Aimee Yurris’s passion for food has taken her from the kitchen to the classroom. A competitive baker in high school, Aimee also attended the Culinary Arts program at NAIT before coming to uLethbridge to study Aboriginal Health. But the Yellowknife, N.W.T. resident hasn’t completely left her interest in food behind. In addition to her course work, Aimee is working on an applied study project, which allows students to earn course credit for learning gained through paid or volunteer employment related to their field of study.

Sam Broadbent

Bachelor of Music student Major: Music Minor: Math

Sam Broadbent came to uLethbridge to pursue a music degree, but his affinity for math quickly led to new opportunities. Sam was recruited by mathematics and computer science professors Dr. Nathan Ng and Dr. Habiba Kadiri to be part of a summer research project in number theory.

“Through the University, I’ve learned to be open to new experiences. I had no idea that I could enjoy working in mathematics as much as I did, but that summer was the most enjoyable of my entire life.”

His research experience may have inspired Sam to add a math minor to his degree, but he hasn’t set aside his trumpet or his musical goals. While continuing his studies at the Department of Music, Sam performs in the University’s jazz sextet and pops up at the Owl Acoustic Lounge’s monthly jazz jams hosted by uLethbridge music instructor Dr. Josh Davies.

Sarah Orban Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Science student Majors: Kinesiology/Psychology As an athlete with Olympic aspirations in track cycling, Sarah Orban knows the importance of keeping her balance.

is vital to Canada’s future, and yours.

Liberal education fuels the imagination that drives innovation and prosperity.

It provides a well-rounded workforce with the skills needed to navigate a rapidly changing labour market. How can a liberal education help you?

You’ll have an abundance of opportunities

It’s what employers want

It’s what 55% of the world’s professional leaders have

According to a study of Canada’s largest employers, when evaluating entry-level hires employers value soft skills over technical knowledge. The soft skills most often listed as desirable by employers include relationship-building, communication and problemsolving skills, analytical and leadership abilities — attributes developed and honed through studies in the social sciences and humanities.

Business Council of Canada and Aon Hewitt, Developing Canada’s future workforce: A survey of large private-sector employers, 2016 (Universities Canada)

20

Liberal arts graduates pursue many different career paths. For example, almost 40,000 employed Canadians have a bachelor’s degree in history. Of that group, 18 per cent work in management occupations and 23 per cent work in business, finance and administrative positions.

Statistics Canada, National Household Survey, 2011 (Universities Canada)

The social sciences and humanities together make up more than half of bachelor’s degrees among current professional leaders with higher education qualifications, across 30 countries and all sectors.

Younger leaders (under 45 years) are more likely to hold a degree in social sciences or the humanities.

British Council, Educational Pathways of Leaders: An international comparison, 2015 (Universities Canada)

uLethbridge alumni explain how their liberal education set them up for success:

“Knowing how to think critically and to confront ideas and opinions that are different from your own is crucial to success.”

Julian SpearChief-Morris (BA ’13) After graduating from uLethbridge, Julian went on to study law at Harvard University. Last year, he made international news and secured his name in Harvard’s history books as the first Indigenous student to head the Legal Aid Bureau at Harvard Law School. Having just completed his law degree, Julian has accepted a job at a law firm in Washington, D.C., where he plans to put all he has learned into practice. “Ultimately,” Julian says, “my dream has always been to find a way to use my skills and abilities to strengthen the community I grew up in.”

“The breadth of my education enabled me to do exactly what I wanted to and made me feel like I could accomplish anything.”

Paije Ottoson (BMgt/BEd ’04) An “a-ha” moment set Paije Ottoson’s life on a new trajectory. “I remember sitting in my office one day and saying, ‘I just want to paint.’” Soon after, Paije left her career in banking and set out on a new path, combining her education and business background with her passion for art. After months of planning, the entrepreneur had the skills, knowledge and determination to establish her own business, Smudge Art Studio Inc., in downtown Lethbridge. Now in its fourth year, Smudge has received many awards and accolades, and is inspiring artists of all ages.

“Engaging in disciplines outside of your initial area of interest opens up amazing opportunities.”

Chris Isaac (BSc ‘17) Recent graduate Chris Isaac (BSc’ 17) is already excelling on the world stage. Having been part of uLethbridge’s iGEM (International Genetically Engineered Machine) program since he was in Grade 11, Chris remained active in iGEM throughout his undergraduate experience at uLethbridge and now as a master’s student. “I’ve been able to undertake experimental research on the cutting edge of science and work on projects to solve real-world problems,” he says. Last year, the iGEM team’s project focused on combining molecular biology techniques with engineering concepts to develop a tool that can be widely used by everyone from educators to hobbyists and scientists. The project attracted the attention of iGEM International, while its focus on biosecurity issues also earned interest from the FBI and the Dutch Institute for Public Health. Chris was subsequently chosen to be part of the iGEM Foundation’s delegation to the Biological Weapons Convention in Geneva to discuss the role of iGEM in promoting good biosecurity practices.

Additional Admission Routes The First Nations’ Transition Program (FNTP) The First Nations’ Transition Program (FNTP) is a first-year credit program that provides Indigenous students who do not meet the general admission requirements of the University of Lethbridge an opportunity to enter into, and succeed at, university. Our program provides a solid foundation of core skills in a supportive cohort environment that attends to Indigenous ways of knowing and learning. It is also open to Indigenous students returning to university after an absence and, as space allows, to those who qualify for general admission but want the supports provided by the cohort.

Successful completion of the FNTP allows you to enter into most uLethbridge programs. This is a full-time university program that may qualify for loans and other sources of funding.

This eight-month (two-term), first-year experience program runs from September to April. It provides a strong foundation of courses that can be credited to the majority of programs at uLethbridge. The deadline to apply to the FNTP is August 31. ulethbridge.ca/future-student /first-nations-transition-program

International students uLethbridge is home to more than 600+ international students from over 80 countries.

For the most part, admission requirements are Grade 12 or equivalent courses including English, at least three other approved courses (history, languages, mathematics, physical sciences) and a fifth course. However, please visit our website to determine requirements specific to your country. ulethbridge.ca/ross/admission-information /intl/intreq Non-native English speakers need to pass an English-language proficiency test or take English for Academic Purposes (EAP) before they can enroll in classes. Learn more at ulethbridge.ca/ross/admissions/elr The application deadline for international students is May 15 and a study permit is required.

We are here to help you adapt to campus life socially, academically and culturally. ulethbridge.ca/future-student /international-requirements

Non-matriculated Adult Admission Adult admission may be available to applicants who are 21 years of age or older and who do not meet our general admission standards. Life achievement may be considered if it has provided you with skills relevant to university success. ulethbridge.ca/future-student/non-matriculated-adult

Dual Admission Dual admission agreements with the College of the Rockies and Medicine Hat College mean students can easily transfer to uLethbridge. Students are admitted to uLethbridge while still attending college, and benefit from continuing student registration privileges, certainty regarding program requirements, transferability of courses and access to uLethbridge student services. ulethbridge.ca/ross/admissions/undergrad/dual-admission 25

Bustling urban centre with breathing room.

Lethbridge is a city best known for its bright sunshine and warm, windy days.

But we’re also a growing community of nearly 100,000 people with a vibrant arts and culture scene, world-class sports and recreation facilities, and spectacular scenery.

Indoors or outdoors, on campus and off, you’ll find plenty of things to do in Lethbridge.

Walk or run the coulee trails into the Oldman River valley under the shadow of the iconic High Level Bridge. Visit downtown for one of the many festivals that take place in Galt Gardens, hit an art opening at the Southern Alberta

Art Gallery, check out a band, or grab a coffee with friends. Take in a blockbuster movie or an arthouse film.

Cheer on the Pronghorns, the Hurricanes or the Bulls, or join one of the many recreational sports leagues in town, like the Lethbridge Curling Club at the brand new ATB Centre.

Here, where the Rocky Mountains meet the prairies, you’ll find a close-knit but welcoming community where ideas flourish under the big Alberta sky.

STUDENT HOUSING

Home Sweet Home Welcome to your home away from home. We believe residence is about more than accommodation: it’s about building community, sharing experiences and having fun — essential in helping to ensure a smooth transition to university.

Living in residence is a great option, especially during your first year*. Studies show that students who live on campus are more likely to have a successful academic experience.

Why? In a word, access.

As a resident, your home is steps away from classes, professors’ offices, student services, social, exercise and recreational spaces, as well as study rooms and academic programming.

You have a built-in community that enhances academic performance and social success. You’ll make lifelong friends, find study partners and fine-tune your interpersonal skills.

Residents belong to the largest student club on campus, the Organization of Residence Students (ORS), that provides support and plans fun activities. Each section in residence has at least one residence assistant (RA) — first-year residences have two — who build community by coordinating fun social events (think Residence Wars), educational opportunities and everyday interactions like section dinners and hanging out in the common room.

They also uphold the community standards, can assist with roommate disagreements and will connect you with the many services the University has to offer.

38

Our RAs are trained in emergency response and standard first aid, not because you’ll need it, just because we like to be prepared.

Campus Safety We take security very seriously. We have Closed-Circuit Television in public areas; residence is regularly patrolled by Security Services; we offer services like Safe Walk (where a safety team member accompanies you to and from anywhere on campus) and Working Alone Web System (allows you to log in and make Security Services aware of your location when working alone on campus); and a key-tag service in case you lose your keys on or off campus.

What’s in a name?

To honour the relationships with local Blackfoot communities, the early student housing developments at uLethbridge are named after some of the signatories of Treaty 7, signed September 22, 1877. The communities are Kainai, Piikani, Siksika and Tsuu T’ina. *To be eligible for residence, students must live 100 km or further away from the city of Lethbridge.

For more information and to see floor plans of our residence spaces: ulethbridge.ca/future-student/housing

Money Matters Apply for On-Campus Housing Apply early since residence is not guaranteed and is in high demand.

Applications open September 15, 2018. You can apply for residence after you have applied to uLethbridge and received your student identification number. To apply, visit ulethbridge.ca/housing You are considered a New University student if you: • enter straight from high school, or • take less than one year off following high school Apply online to stay in the traditional-style dorms in University Hall (UHall), or one-, two-, four, or six-bedroom apartments in Aperture Park.

Approved 2018/19 dining plans: Sampler: $1,760 Commuter: $3,540 (New University student option) Standard: $4,095 (New University student option) Big eater? Consider one of the larger options and know you can add money at any point throughout the year. Like to cook? Consider one of the smaller options as there are shared kitchen spaces in the dorms and full kitchens in the apartments where you can prepare some food yourself.

These are fully furnished, so expect to find a bed (with storage space beneath), a desk and a place to hang your clothes. Satellite television, wireless internet and all utilities are included.

Not a first-year student? Even though all of our apartments and townhomes include a full kitchen, if you’re not interested in doing the shopping, cooking and dishes, purchase a dining plan!

You are considered a Transfer or Mature student if you: • enter after studying at another post-secondary institution, or • take two or more years off following high school

Resident Parking

You can apply online to live in the four-bedroom apartments in Mount Blakiston House or the two- or four-bedroom townhomes in Siksika House, Tsuu T’ina House and Sarcee Residence Village.

These are fully furnished, so expect to find a bed (with storage space beneath), a desk and a place to hang your clothes. Satellite television service, wireless internet, and all utilities are also included.

Approved 2018/19 fees (per term): • New University student • Traditional: $1,444 – $2,800 • Apartment: $2,808 – $4,564 • Transfer and Mature students • Apartment/townhome (furnished): $2,908– $4,628 ulethbridge.ca/housing/room-rates

Dining Plans We understand that this is a transition year and may be the first time you are living away from home. With a dining plan, your transition to university is likely to be smoother as you have access to nutritious meals with minimal effort. Plus, you won’t have to worry about grocery shopping, cooking every meal or doing dishes!

40

New University students living in residence are required to purchase a minimum Commuter dining plan.

Resident parking permits are in very high demand and sell out quickly. The Online Check-In System is the best way to obtain a resident parking permit.

These permits are allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis prior to the fall term. If you require a parking pass, plan to purchase online via the Online Check-In System. Once the system is closed, you should plan to purchase a pass via Campus Mobility Services as they are available. Students have the option of purchasing yearly, eight-month or semester permits, with eightmonth permits being the most popular. There is short-term parking in various lots on campus at pay-and-park dispensers.

Students living in residence who have a vehicle must purchase a resident parking pass.

UPass UPass gives undergraduate students enrolled at uLethbridge unlimited access to local transit during each term they are registered for classes. It is an environmentally friendly, cost-effective and safe way to navigate Lethbridge.

Off-Campus Housing One of the benefits of living in a city divided by a river is that the entire west side, where uLethbridge is located, features extensive off-campus housing close to campus. Since the majority of our students live on the

west side, it’s practically an extension of residence. When you’re out and about, you’re bound to run into other students (or even your professors) at local grocery stores, restaurants or parks.

The University of Lethbridge provides a list of off-campus housing to assist students in finding accommodations. Visit our website for more information about rental listings available around Lethbridge. ulethbridge.ca/futurestudent/living-off-campus
