If you know somebody who graduated from the University of Lethbridge (U of L) and has gone on to do great things, now is your chance to make sure they get recognized.

The U of L Alumni Association has opened applications for its annual Alumni Achievement Awards.

Association President Cyndi Crane says many amazing alumni have stories worth telling.

“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,” says Crane.

The university will honour former students in the following four categories:
