A former member of the University of Lethbridge Pronghorns is being recognized by his alma mater.

Dr. Tim Rollingson Jr. has been named the 2025 Pronghorn Alumni of the Year.

The Pronghorns say he was a “transformative” force for the men’s basketball team, being the first Pronghorn to win Canada West Rookie of the Year.

He was also a three-year captain and helped to elevate the program to a number-one national ranking. He remains second all-time in both three-pointers and career assists.

Neil Langevin, executive director of Pronghorn Athletics, congratulated Rollingson for his accomplishments on the court.

“Tim’s arrival on campus kicked off a special time for Horns basketball and the drive, competitiveness and attention to detail he showed then laid the foundation for the professional success he would achieve after graduating from ULethbridge,” says Langevin.

Rollingson would earn a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry from the U of L with great distinction.

He would go on to complete his Doctor of Dental Surgery at the University of Alberta and advanced training at both the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies and Scottsdale Centre for Dental Learning. Rollingson completed a postgraduate certificate in business administration at Herit-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland.

He is the founder of Ivory Dental in Lethbridge and is the owner and director of Southgate Surgical Suites.

He was voted the Best Dentist/Best Dental Office in the Best of the Best in 2021, 2023, 2024 and 2025.

Langevin says, “Tim has always been about respecting his roots and recognizing the support he received as he developed his career. You see that in how he gives back whenever he has the opportunity. He embodies the Pronghorn spirit and is more than worthy of this honour.”

Rollingson will be honoured at the Let There Be Light Night, a celebration of alumni achievement, on October 17, 2025, at the U of L Science Commons Atrium. Tickets are available online.
