Celebrating student summer research!🔬📚️

The 2026 Summer Research Showcase brought together undergraduate researchers from across ULethbridge and high school students from the High School Youth Researcher Summer (HYRS) Program to share the research they conducted throughout the summer.

Students had the opportunity to present their work and connect with the campus community to celebrate a summer of discovery and experiential learning at ULethbridge.

Thank you to everyone who participated in and supported this year’s showcase!

ULethbridge was so happy to have hosted Canada students on campus this summer! ☀️👏

Through the STEAM and entrepreneurship program partnership, 55 high school students from across Canada spent July gaining hands-on experience by exploring real-world challenges while engaging in innovation, entrepreneurship and research📚🔬.

Students explored ULethbridge's labs, attended lectures and learned from researchers, faculty and experts.

It was exciting to have the campus filled with pre-post-secondary youth who represent the future of innovation, entrepreneurship and research🌍.

For more than 15 years, the Raising Spirit Project has brought together Blackfoot families, Elders, students and researchers at the University of Lethbridge to explore knowledge sharing, culture and community-based learning.📚️

Now entering its third phase, Raising Spirit is being guided by a new generation of scholars who were themselves involved in Raising Spirit as students. Faculty members involved in the project include Dr. Chloe Crosschild (BN '14, MN '19), assistant professor in the Faculty of Health Sciences (Nursing); Ryan Crosschild, assistant professor of Women and Gender Studies and Sociology in association with the new Feminist Research Institute; and Dr. Amy Mack (BA '13, MA '16), assistant professor in the Department of New Media and Canada Research Chair (Tier 2).

As the initiative continues to grow, Raising Spirit stands as a powerful example of how relationships between Indigenous communities and universities can foster knowledge sharing, support cultural continuity and create opportunities for future generations of scholars and community leaders.👏
