Teaching, Learning and Student Experience
FutureU
The FutureU program is part of Innovation@UCalgary and strives to help students build a sustainable and healthy life for themselves, working on challenges they care about. The theme for the 2019-20 year was Innovation in Climate Action. Through a series of networking sessions, experiential workshops and ‘ideathons,’ students had the opportunity to get curious and test out innovative solutions to challenges related to climate change.

Law students and faculty members participated in a nationwide research-a-thon examining measures being taken by provincial and federal governments to mitigate climate change. Participants worked together to discover how Calgary is tackling climate issues through city bylaws, policies and other plans. Learn more.
