Upcoming events
Leadership Development
Whether you’re an established leader or just starting out, our programs support the development of leaders to channel their unique strengths, contribute to their communities and overcome challenges. Join us for on-demand workshops, year-long mentorship programs, our annual student leadership conference and much more.
Orientation & Involvement
Transitions, such as starting university, are part of the student experience, and we want you to be successful. Fall Orientation is designed to help you thrive academically, personally and socially. Also, take advantage of year-round resources from the Online Orientation portal, and offer feedback as part of First Year Council.
Community Engagement
We want you to feel inspired, engaged and empowered to act within your community. Whether you’re a seasoned volunteer or looking to get involved, we offer programs from one-day service projects in Calgary to intensive explorations of social issues through ucalgarycares at home, in Toronto, Costa Rica and the Yukon.
Student Life
Developing a supportive network of friends and mentors will enrich your time on campus. Our Student Life programs foster a sense of community and connectedness with drop-in programming from the weekly meet-up style Unwind events, to the Last Lecture series, social Meet-Ups and the end-of-year UCalgaryStrong Festival.
