The University of Lethbridge Alumni Association, representing nearly 55,000 alumni worldwide, is seeking nominations for its annual suite of awards celebrating the achievements of ULethbridge graduates.
ULethbridge alumni are making valuable contributions to society every day, positively impacting communities locally, provincially, nationally and around the world. Using the knowledge and experience they gained as ULethbridge students, they are achieving personal and professional goals and bettering the world in which we live.
Each year, the University celebrates a host of accomplished alumni, including the recipients of the Distinguished Alumni Award, the Young Alumni Award, Alumni Honour Society inductees and the Pronghorn Alumni of the Year. Award recipients are celebrated at the annual Let There Be Light Night, a celebration of alumni achievement, as part of the Fall 2025 Convocation week activities.
“There are so many amazing ULethbridge alumni doing great things, both close to home and around the world. They have stories worth telling — stories about leadership, creativity, and the ways they’re making a difference in their communities,” says Cyndi Crane (BMus ’95, MEd ’01), president of the University of Lethbridge Alumni Association. “Through our alumni awards, we get to shine a light on their accomplishments and recognize the meaningful contributions they are making in all kinds of fields. It’s also a chance to celebrate the ULethbridge experience — the people, the moments and the education that helped shape their journeys.
