Dr. Kas Mazurek believes that understanding the profession of teaching begins by understanding, and accepting, the education systems of other nations.
A researcher with a special interest in comparative studies in the Faculty of Education, Mazurek emphasizes that, as an educator, there is a responsibility to be open to broader concepts. He is adamant that we should never rely solely on the “knowledge and experience that local researchers, practitioners and education systems possess and generate.”

The PBA is a post-secondary baseball program that plays out of Lethbridge’s Lloyd Nolan Yard complex. Its athletes attend school at both the University of Lethbridge and Lethbridge College.

Chancellor-elect Shirley McClellan wants everyone to know that she is more than aware of the distance from her farm in New Brigden, Alta. to Lethbridge.
Her family made the more than 400 km drive regularly while her daughter Tami (BEd ’89) attended the U of L. She also has four hockey-playing grandchildren who travel to Lethbridge and southern Alberta on a regular basis. Indeed, the former politician, rural advocate and veteran community volunteer has been on the road as much as some long distance truck drivers.
