Leadership Welcome
The University of Lethbridge (Iniskim) was founded in 1967 because a determined group of citizens believed southern Alberta warranted its own university.
Thanks to the efforts of many, ULethbridge has supported the region, Alberta and Canada through teaching, research, and outreach activities, and has prepared thousands graduates to make important contributions in communities around the world.
In 2023, our University embarked upon the process of developing a next strategic plan to respond to a rapidly changing world and how we will realize our potential for the people and communities we serve. Our priority was to bring together our internal and external stewards and champions so we could collectively build a plan that is bold, ambitious, and resilient to future challenges.
We are grateful to everyone who brought their insights and ideas forward. Your input was critical.
The University of Lethbridge Strategic Plan defines who we are, our values, and commitment, and sets the direction for our next 10 years. We will challenge boundaries and inspire curiosity. We will be a place where people aspire to learn, work, and contribute. We will shape the future and engage communities.
Now, the important work of bringing our collective vision to life begins. What the University becomes and the impact we are able to have depends on each and every one of us.
It’s time to connect, be courageous, and take action.
