We'd like to congratulate Kelson Burns on his summer work with the Lethbridge Chamber of Commerce. This week, he was featured in the Chamber's newsletter:

The Lethbridge Chamber would like to welcome our WIL students Kelson Burns and Chris Kirui to the Chamber team!

Kelson Burns
I have lived in Lethbridge since 2013 and have enjoyed the time I have spent here. I am an accounting student at Lethbridge College with a passion for business. I plan to complete my Bachelor of Management degree at the University of Lethbridge with the goal of getting my CPA designation. When I am not busy with school or work at the Lethbridge Chamber of Commerce, I enjoy spending my time in the mountains snowboarding or on a golf course with some friends.

DRIVE -THRU CONVOCATION INFORMATION

For the spring 2021 Convocation, Lethbridge College will move to multiple small, drive-thru ceremonies on May 27 and 28 on campus. These events will allow students to have their moment in the spotlight safely as they cross an outdoor stage, receive their credential, get a graduation photo and feel the pride and praise of their instructors and staff members who will be watching at a distance.

The event will be livestreamed for family and friends, and the celebration will be enhanced by a digital package of Convocation videos and well-wishes that students can access online and share at smaller gatherings within their own homes. The Spring Convocation will also recognize 2020 graduates who missed out on their ceremony in the early days of the pandemic.

Students eligible for Spring Convocation have until April 15 to register to take part in the ceremony.

Convocation represents the culmination of your academic endeavours at Lethbridge College. It is an opportunity for the campus community and your friends and family to recognize and celebrate your accomplishments.

Lethbridge College reduces application fees in April

Do you know of anyone considering coming to the college this fall? If so, let them know April is a great time to apply. The college is ready to welcome students back to campus this fall. To make the process even easier and more affordable, the application fee has been cut in half during the month of April. The savings will be automatically applied to any student who applies between April 1 and 30 online, reducing the usual $100 application processing fee to $50. The savings cannot be applied to students who have already applied.

Prospective students can visit explorelc.ca to take a virtual tour, speak with a recruiter or learn more about living in residence. Students ready to take the next step can go to lethbridgecollege.ca/apply. Thanks for sharing this opportunity with any future students you know.

We accept admissions applications all year, so apply for the Lethbridge College program of your choice today. It's your future – what are you waiting for?
