Accommodated Learning Centre supporting student, changing perceptions

The services and support they offer are the same – and so is the location – but it’s a brand new day at the University of Lethbridge’s Accommodated Learning Centre (ALC).

Dr. Olu Awosoga began contributing to the Supporting Our Students campaign immediately upon being hired because he understands students' needs.

“It’s very difficult to focus on your studies when you have to think about how you’re going to pay rent,” says Awosoga. “I see it all the time with students – they have homework, they have research, they have classes, they have a job, they have a family – it’s a tremendous amount of pressure. I know the reality of the struggle. If I can help make it easier for someone, I’m happy to do that.”

Read more of Dr. Awosoga's story here.

The SOS team will be unveiling a large banner in Markin Hall (3rd floor) this Friday morning beginning at 10 a.m. to acknowledge Dr. Awosoga's participation in the SOS progam.
