The University of Lethbridge (also known as the U of L) is a public university located in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, with two other urban campuses in Calgary and Edmonton. The main building sits among the coulees on the west side of the Oldman River. The university press, The Meliorist, is a member of CUP.
[edit] HistoryThe University of Lethbridge is a non-denominational university established in 1967 at Lethbridge, Alberta. In 1968, the University awarded its first undergraduate degrees in the liberal arts. [4] The architect Arthur Erickson designed University Hall which has received international acclaim for its architectural originality and functional design. The University Hall opened in 1971. In 1996, the University of Lethbridge opened campuses in Calgary and Edmonton. [edit] AcademicsBoth graduate and undergraduate programmes are offered. In 2004, the University of Lethbridge granted their first doctoral degrees. Lisa Thomson and Robbin Gibb both graduated with doctoral degrees in Cognitive and Behavioural Neuroscience. Earlier in the year, the Alberta government approved the expansion of the fledgling Ph.D. program to include degrees in five new areas: bio-molecular science; biosystems and biodiversity; earth, space and physical science; evolution and behaviour; and theoretical and computational science. [edit] Aboriginal The University of Lethbridge provides special first-year bridging programs for Aboriginal students. The University of Lethbridge’s Niitsitapi Teacher Education Program with Red Crow Community College was developed in partnership with specific Aboriginal communities to meet specific needs within Aboriginal communities. [5] [edit] ResearchThe university has strong research programs and is nationally recognized in the sciences.[6][7] It pursues collaborative research with two federal agriculture research centers in Lethbridge. Faculty members participate in a number of national networked centres of excellence and other collaborations in a wide range of fields. The university’s infrastructure in the sciences and information technology is accessible to undergraduate students. [edit] Faculties and schools The University of Lethbridge has six faculties and schools that administer its bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees.
[edit] AthleticsThe university is represented in Canadian Interuniversity Sport by the Lethbridge Pronghorns, formerly known as the Chinooks. They have men's and women's teams in basketball, ice hockey, judo, rugby union, soccer, swimming, and track and field. The Pronghorns have won national championships in men's hockey (1994) and women's rugby (2007,2008).[citation needed] The university has an intramurals program. The home arena for the Pronghorns is First Choice Saving Centre. The new gym includes three full size basketball courts, an indoor track field, a rock-climbing wall, and an exercise room. The construction was finished in 2006 and is open to public on the membership basis. An outdoor stadium, U of L Stadium, is situated in the south of campus and will be opened in late 2009. U of L Stadium will be the home for Pronghorns soccer and football teams. [edit] The University of Lethbridge Art GalleryThe University of Lethbridge Art Gallery has one of the largest collections in Canada of 19th and 20th century Canadian, American and European art, with over 13,000 pieces including drawing, print making, painting, photography, sculpture and installation. The previous director, Jeffrey Spalding, spearheaded this nationally renowned art collection. Josephine Mills was appointed Director/Curator of the Art Gallery in 2001 and maintains a strong exhibition, publication and research program. The collection quickly outgrew available archiving and storage space, so a new building was completed in 1999 to house large works. Additional renovations were made in 2000 and 2003 to update a study area for the collection and an incoming/outgoing art handling area. In 2006, a comprehensive registration database was made available online of the University of Lethbridge collections. [edit] Lineage and establishment
