BIG REPUTATION GREAT UNIVERSITY

Choose the U of A and have confidence that you’re selecting a well-known, well-recognized institution with an international reputation for excellence. We are focused—first and foremost—on setting the standard in Canada for delivering a quality education, the kind of education that turns learners into leaders. And through research, we push the boundaries of knowledge to discover ideas that can change the world for the better, today and for generations to come.

FOUNDED ON A BOLD PROMISE “The people demand that knowledge shall not be the concern of scholars alone. The uplifting of the whole people shall be its final goal. This should never be forgotten.” Henry Marshall Tory, 1908 Henry Marshall Tory, the University of Alberta’s founding president knew from his own experience that education improves and empowers individuals and their communities. He set about building a university that would do for others what his university education had done for him.

For more than 100 years, U of A students, teachers, researchers and alumni have fulfilled this promise. They are an uplifting force in their communities, their countries and the world.

University of Alberta

CONTRIBUTING TO COMMUNITIES U of A students in eight different health-care disciplines participate in the SHINE (Student Health Initiative for the Needs of Edmonton) Youth Clinic, providing free health services to this underserved population.

Service Learning Experience is a partnership between U of A residences and Habitat for Humanity. This year, 24 residence students worked shoulder-to-shoulder with villagers in Guatemala building houses for families in need.

The Community Service-Learning Program involves U of A students applying their skills in a variety of community organizations. For example, Sophia Barry, a thirdyear fine-arts student volunteers teaching music at an inner-city elementary school.

CHANGING THE WORLD The U of A is considered one of the world’s top research universities. We have 336 teaching and research agreements with governments and partner institutions in 50 countries.

Here are just a few examples of how our discoveries have made an impact: 1921: Played a key role in discovering insulin by refining the crude pancreatic extract obtained by other researchers so that it could be used in humans. Almost eighty years later: Developed the Edmonton Protocol islet cell transplant method that is known around the world and is improving lives for many Type 1 diabetics. 1950s–1970s: Conducted research that paved the way for new antibiotics and blood reagent drugs to prevent organ transplant rejection and improved treatments for leukemia and hemophilia. Discovered how carbohydrates bind to proteins—crucial to everything from immunology to cancer. 1978: Proved brain development depends on dietary fatty acid and, over the next 30 years, improved the brain functioning of millions of children worldwide by determining the ideal amount and types of fatty acids to include in infant formula. 1991: Granted the first international patent for the first antiviral therapy for hepatitis B, leading to treatments that save many lives every day. 1995: Developed the world’s first commercial medical application of nanotechnology: a stable form of silver that could be made into a bandage for treating burns and other wounds. These dressings are now used all over the world.

SHAPING ALBERTA It was knowledge that helped put Alberta on the map. If today the province is known worldwide for its energy resources, it is thanks to the dreams and visions of past U of A faculty and alumni. In the 1920s, engineering professor Karl Clark created the hot water process for separating bitumen from oilsands. In 1947, led by geology professor Charlie Stelck’s insight to search for oil and gas near ancient coral reefs, former U of A students helped to discover Leduc No. 1 and Alberta’s Pembina Field in 1953.

2010: The Li Ka Shing Institute of Virology places the U of A at the cutting edge of global virology research. This research is aimed at developing drugs, vaccines and diagnostic tests that will enhance global security and reduce the impact of viral infections on human health and the world economy.

Today the U of A actively contributes to energy-related advances and has become a world leader on ways to reduce the environmental impact of extraction.

Karl Clark, engineering professor in the 1920s who is known as the father of the Alberta oilsands development.

On February 13, 1947, the Leduc No. 1 well made a huge oil strike, leading to Western Canada’s first major oil boom.

According to the 2009 Times Higher Education-QS World University Ranking, the U of A ranked 24th in North America and 59th in the world 2011-2012 Viewbook

BIG ACHIEVERS GREAT STUDENTS

At the U of A, you’ll develop your boundless potential. Our students are putting their big dreams into action. They’re participating in research that is changing lives, contributing to communities, and learning and sharing experiences with other outstanding students and professors. From here, the sky’s the limit!

PETER GILL, Faculty of Medicine Student and Rhodes Scholar.

LEAH TRUEBLooD, Faculty of Arts Student (BA, 2009).

WINNING PRESTIGIoUS AWARDS Peter Gill has accomplished a lot for a man under 26. As a U of A undergraduate student, he assisted with the Edmonton Protocol treatment for Type 1 diabetes, volunteered in the pediatric cancer unit at Alberta Health Services´ Stollery Children’s Hospital, organized a fundraiser for the Kids with Cancer Society and completed a four-week volunteer elective in a small rural hospital in Uganda. Now this outstanding student is our 67th Rhodes Scholar (one of the most prestigious awards in the academic world). Upon the completion of his PhD in the Department of Primary Health Care at the University of Oxford, Peter plans to return to the U of A to complete his medical doctorate.

University of Alberta

TRANSfoRmING fRom A LEARNER To A LEADER Coming to the U of A from a small town in Northern Alberta on a National Leadership Scholarship, Leah Trueblood had a terrific undergraduate experience. From living in residence at Lister Centre to studying at the Faculty of Arts’ campus in Italy, Leah was inspired to help other students have a wonderful academic experience. She co-founded the Collective Body for Arts Students, served as Students’ Union Vice-President (Academic) and worked for the Office of the Provost on the university’s new academic plan. In fall 2010, she will begin the joint LLB/JD Law Program at the London School of Economics where she hopes to pursue comparative and constitutional law.

CHANGING LIVES THRoUGH PLAy U of A students from a variety of faculties are broadening their worldviews and becoming global-minded citizens through the Faculty of Physical Education and Recreation’s “Play Around the World” program. Each year students travel to Thailand and Cambodia where they spend three months delivering play, recreation and physical activity programs in orphanages, schools for children with disabilities, AIDS centers and other not-for-profit organizations.

TEACHING SCIENCE To CHILDREN BUTANERDS, First-prize winners in the energy category of an international genetic engineering competition (iGEM) held at MIT. Photo courtesy of Alberta Ingenuity

The Faculty of Engineering’s DiscoverE Program allows U of A students to share their passions and teach kids about the “cool” side of engineering, science and technology. Offering educational, hands-on camps at the U of A and in communities as far away as Inuvik, U of A students help more than 20,000 youth each year to launch rockets, discover the math behind music and conduct explosive chemistry experiments. DiscoverE’s exciting approach to learning and youth mentorship has won numerous awards, including the 2008 Actua Award for Leadership and Innovation and the 2009 Alberta Excellence in Science and Technology Public Awareness Award.

SAVING THE ENVIRoNmENT There’s a good reason why the Butanerds caused a stir at MIT. This team of bright students from the faculties of science, engineering and medicine attempted to engineer E.coli bacteria to produce butanol, an alternative biofuel. Less of a pollutant than gasoline, more energy dense than other biofuels and directly compatible with existing vehicles, bacterially-produced butanol could mean great things for the environment.

DR. W. ANDY KNIGHT, Professor in the Faculty of Arts Awarded the ScotiabankAUCC Award for Excellence in Internationalization and is the 2010 recipient of the Harry Jerome Trailblazer Award.

In other words, you’re learning from the very best!

DR. GLEN LOPPNOW, Professor in the Department of Chemistry and 2009 3M National Teaching Fellow.

USING RAP SONGS TO TEACH CLIMATE CHANGE In the world of scientific research, Dr. Glen Loppnow is noted for his work in the field of understanding and measuring damage in DNA and RNA, and its implications for the molecular origin of life and its consequences for modern diseases. In the classroom, he’s helping students learn complex subject matter in pretty progressive ways. He’s had students creating rap songs about climate change, doing music videos about entropy in the universe and performing an interpretive dance on solar energy. “By thinking about the things that would engage them more, it changed the way I taught,” says Dr. Loppnow. “When you engage the heart as well as the mind, it’s just transformative what happens.”

IMPACTING CURRENT AND fUTURE LEADERS Dr. W. Andy Knight is on a mission of global peace. His research on global security, international relations and children affected by armed conflict has made a big impact on world leaders and students alike. Whether he’s working with the United Nations Office of the Secretary General to develop policy solutions, or engaging students through internships, research symposia or Model UN political simulations, Dr. Knight can truly be considered a global mentor.

BRINGING THE WORLD INTO THE CLASSROOM The energy and impact of Dr. Olenka Bilash can be felt from her U of A classroom to the world stage.

BIG IMPACT

GREAT RESEARCH The University of Alberta is an international research leader. Students like you are working with U of A professors of international reputation—leaders invested in giving you an academic edge. Our professors are research award-winners, innovators and leaders in their fields —some even write the textbooks. Our students, from undergraduate to graduate levels, are involved hands-on in this quest for discovery, contributing to the U of A’s reputation for research excellence. Make a big impact on your world by being part of the U of A’s process of discovery in all areas of study.

BATTLING OBESITY AND CANCER UNEARTHING THE MYSTERIES Of PREHISTORIC LIfE U of A researchers are leading one of the most extensive undertakings in the history of subarctic archaeology. The Baikal Archaeology Project in Eastern Siberia has brought together researchers from archaeology, genetics, environmental science and anthropology to unearth some of the richest Holocene hunter-gatherer data on record. With their international peers, U of A researchers have excavated stratified habitation sites, large cemeteries and well-preserved skeletal remains and are analyzing the extraordinary data to understand prehistoric settlement systems, diets, mobility patterns and even early climate change.

University of Alberta

Dr. Linda McCargar (agricultural, food and nutritional sciences), recently awarded the illustrious U of A Killam Professorship, is an expert in childhood eating behavior and obesity in Canada. Her research has focused on disease prevention and well-being through healthy eating, as well as energy metabolism and changes in body composition during cancer chemotherapy, particularly with regard to how cancer treatment affects women’s health. Dr. McCargar has also played a vital role in a number of advisory committees to support initiatives related to school health promotion and the prevention of childhood obesity.

REGENERATING AGING BONES Dr. Hasan Uludag (chemical and materials engineering) and his team are working with a building block protein produced in early childhood to help strengthen and regenerate adult bones. Thanks to Dr. Uludag and his team of researchers, potentially life-threatening, late-life bone fractures could become a thing of the past. The team’s goal is to trick the proteins so that they are deposited directly to fragile bones that need reinforcement via a series of injections. The U of A is a world pioneer in attempting to bring this treatment to market.

EXPANDING INTO SPACE Dr. Ian Mann (physics) operates at the top— literally. He is a leading authority in the study of the Earth’s magnetosphere, the outermost layer of our atmosphere, and one of the newest inductees to Canada’s Top 40 Under 40. His innovative work on space activities creates enormous scientific and economic opportunities for Canada and spans from space exploration, to the mitigation of space weather effects to improving the utilization of space for the benefit of Canadians. As co-director of the U of A’s Institute for Space Science, Exploration and Technology, Dr. Mann also heads up a series of youth programs, including the U of A’s CanadaNorway student exchange program, which provides opportunities for hands-on research experience in sounding rockets and payload instrument design.

APPLYING COGNITIVE SCIENCE TO MARKETING Dr. Kyle Murray (marketing) is an expert in the field of consumer psychology, particularly in the domain of human decision-making. As the director of the U of A’s School of Retailing, he is using cognitive science to help better understand how atmospheric influences—such as colour, scent, light and sound—affect what we buy and how much we are willing to pay. Wonder why your favorite store has its lighting low or its walls painted blue? Dr. Murray’s research has demonstrated that both light and colour can affect consumers’ moods and influence their spending decisions.

CHALLENGING CLIMATE CHANGE Dr. Gregory Thiemann (biological sciences) is one of a small number of Canadian researchers studying the effects of climate change on polar bears. Dr. Thiemann, an Alberta Ingenuity Postdoctoral Prize Fellow, is working with polar bears to help better understand the Arctic ecosystem. Dr. Thiemann’s research not only deals with conservation but also has important social, political and cultural implications. It creates an understanding of the changing Arctic climate and changing human impacts on the North.
