The College at the University of Calgary is a Graduate Residential College at the heart of the University Campus that is created by Calgarians unique to the goals and needs of the University and our city. Vision With a core of exceptional graduate students anchoring a community of academics and distinguished individuals in a signature facility, The College will bring together a diversity of individuals and groups to enable engaged discourse on important and challenging topics. Located at the heart of our university, it will reflect the values and vision of Canada’s most entrepreneurial and energized city. The members and programs of The College will serve its communities and create a dynamic environment promoting excellence in research, education, and connection to communities. Focusing on its three foundational themes (connect, enrich, and energize), The College will enable dialog, leverage its diversity, and prepare its members to provide the leadership required to address complex issues facing Calgary, Canada and the global community. To realize this vision, The College will remain focused on its three foundational themes: - To connect and bring together diverse groups, ideas and worldviews to discuss significant issues in an open and collegial environment. - To enrich the experience and future opportunities of its members and the members of the communities it serves through its programs, leadership development, and community building. - To energize the communities it serves and enable the pursuit of solutions to complex issues, both local and global by leveraging Calgary’s rich tradition of civic engagement and volunteerism.
