Students at the University of Lethbridge and Lethbridge Polytechnic were out in full force Wednesday as a new semester got underway.
“Just meeting some new people, kind of changing up my life a little bit, it's a big step,” said Lethbridge Polytechnic first-year student Gabe Rahn.“This is slightly higher than last year and that includes the number of courses that they're registered in so we're seeing a slight uptick,” said Kathleen Massey, vice-provost at the University of Lethbridge.
“So, in regards to that and the cost of living going up, the cost of getting groceries going up, we're expecting some more support.” “It reflects who we are from the range of programming from trades to degrees and also applied research integrated learning that gives the students here an opportunity to gain skills for their careers but to also move them forward in life,” said Brad Donaldson, Lethbridge Polytechnic president and CEO.“We’re hoping to capitalize on that name change moving forward,” said Marko Hilgersom, Lethbridge Polytechnic registrar.
