Look at us now! ALUMNI WEEKEND 2004 will highlight the 40th anniversary of the University of Guelph. Already rich in history and known by the reputation of its founding colleges, the Guelph campus was granted university status in 1964. Today, the University of Guelph is renowned in Canada and around the world for its innovative research, its emphasis on teaching and learning, and its efforts to advance open learning, internationalism and collaboration. In the last year, Guelph ranked first among comprehensive universities in Canada in four independent surveys that evaluate academic quality, research intensity, community atmosphere and public accountability. We invite the entire U of G alumni community to find out why your alma mater earns such accolades. Join us on campus June 25 to 27 to celebrate your connection to the University of Guelph.
