University of Lethbridge Alumni

Alumna Jean Wells (BEd '73) believed in the lasting impact of education and chose to invest in the next generation through a remarkable legacy gift. 👏

A passionate life-long learner and teacher for nearly 20 years, she honoured her parents with a $210,000 gift in her will to the Faculty of Education. The Egbert and Isabella Wells Memorial Scholarship will provide a minimum of $18,000 in awards annually to future teachers — a fitting tribute to parents whose four children each became educators.

Another major sports facility is coming to the University of Lethbridge campus — further cementing ULethbridge as the sporting hub for southern Alberta!

An air-supported, 127,680 sq ft Multi-Sport Dome will be constructed immediately north of the existing Community Sports Stadium — significantly expanding year-round sport, recreation and training opportunities for students and the broader community while substantially increasing indoor capacity on the ULethbridge campus. Designed for flexibility and year-round use, the facility will support a wide range of sports and activities.

The $13.5-million dome is supported by a landmark $1.15 million contribution from the ULSU - University of Lethbridge Students' Union and a $200,000 Community Capital Project Grant from the City of Lethbridge- City Hall. This facility is built by the people of Lethbridge for the people of Lethbridge.

The facility’s plans include:
🥅 a turf field, perfect for soccer, football, rugby and baseball
🏀 two courts for tennis, pickleball and basketball
🏃‍♀️ a multi-lane track designed for sprint training and throwing events

The dome is anticipated to be completed August 2027.
