At the University of Lethbridge, the act of giving a key is symbolic in nature. This practice dates back at least to medieval Europe, when admission into a city was hampered by many legal restrictions, as well as by walls and locked gates. The recipients are chosen at the discretion of the President and the key signifies the outstanding contributions that have been made to support the University of Lethbridge. |
