U of L expecting 60% of students returning this fall
LETHBRIDGE, AB – A smaller group of students are anticipated to be enrolled at the University of Lethbridge (U of L).
Academica Group polled continuing students across Canadian post-secondary institutions, asking if they would carry on with their studies in the Fall 2020 semester.
For the U of L, approximately 60.7 per cent, or 3,800 students, are expected to be in the city in September.
“We think that’s a very strong number and speaks to a variety of factors,” says Mike Mahon, president and vice-chancellor. “While the majority of our classes will be delivered in an online format, the student experience extends far beyond the classroom. There’s a strong social aspect involved, there are lab, co-op, applied study, volunteer and experiential opportunities, and there’s a willingness to live independently and mature as a young person living away from home.”
