From the late 1890s to about 1905, vast numbers of Norwegian settlers were coming north to make their living off of the rich farmland of east central Alberta. The Alberta Norwegian Lutheran College Association founded Camrose Lutheran College, which opened in the fall of 1911. The goal – to provide youth with a liberal education in the arts and sciences while preserving Norwegian language and culture, and strengthening Christian belief. This weekend, the
Centenary celebration of U of A Augustana Campus
will take place.
The evolution of CLC to an undergraduate liberal arts and sciences college began under the capable direction of Chester Ronning back in the 1930s. However, with war and other obstacles impeding this pursuit, first year university courses were not offered until 1959! Second year courses followed ten years later and full degree-granting status was attained in 1984, under the college’s visionary presidency of K. Glen Johnson. Today, Augustana Campus of the University of Alberta, under the exemplary guidance of the institution’s dean Dr. Roger Epp, now draws broadly on its “pioneer legacy” in enriching students’ lives and their learning. This weekend special events, parties and seminars will recognize its impressive 100 years of history in Camrose, Alberta.
