Three year U of L fundraising campaign smashes $100-million goal

LETHBRIDGE, AB – The University of Lethbridge is celebrating a huge success as its most ambitious fundraiser ever comes to a close.

Shine: The Campaign for the University of Lethbridge began back in 2018. It wraps up this week with more than $103-million from 11,000 unique donors.

That money has already been used for a number of large projects, like the state-of-the-art Science Commons building and the Mastercard Foundation in support of Indigenous youth. That said, the funds will also continue to support programming, research, scholarships and much more for years to come.

U of L President, Dr. Mike Mahon, says there was an “unwavering confidence in the University”, the opportunities it provides for students and the impact it has on communities everywhere during this campaign.

I started my radio career in 2015, shortly after graduating from Lethbridge College. I have a very strong passion for local news. Proudly born in 1994, I grew up most of my life in Sylvan Lake, AB and I've lived in the Lethbridge since 2012. I'm a below average golfer on a good day, I take as many hiking trips to Waterton as possible in the summer and I love my two cats, Outlaw and Jynx, and my dog, Maverick, more than most people I know. I look forward to providing accurate, timely news coverage in southern Alberta for plenty of years to come!
