Giving Tuesday Now is a global generosity movement that’s looking for ways to help communities in response to COVID-19. uLethbridge decided to flip the script and rename the day Thank You Tuesday to celebrate those who support our students during this crisis and beyond. Follow along on social media as our students, faculty and staff say THANK YOU to our uLethbridge community near and far.
They are our alumni, our family, our friends and our neighbours.
Each evening, let’s come together as a uLethbridge family and show our appreciation for the front-line heroes with a 7 p.m. cheer. Join the nightly international celebration and share a photo of you honking, clanging, ringing and cheering for the front-line heroes who are working so hard to keep us safe. #ulethcares
Whether you’re brushing up on your 3rd grade math skills or your office mates are suddenly the four-legged type, we want to see how you’re making the most of your remote-lifestyle.
Don your University of Lethbridge gear and use the hashtag #ulethfromhome to show us how you’re staying blue and gold while social distancing.
