== History ==
[[File:Wutzke-45th.jpg|thumb|March in support of the university being located in west Lethbridge]]

[[File:Early University Hall.jpg|thumb|University of Lethbridge, circa 1972|alt=]]

Established by a provincial [[Order in Council]] as Alberta's third university during a period of rapid population growth in the province. The University of Lethbridge welcomed 650 students when it first opened its doors in 1967 on the [[Lethbridge Polytechnic|Lethbridge Junior College]] campus. With the completion of University Hall in 1971, the university moved permanently to west Lethbridge with enrolment growing to over 1,200 students.<ref name="uleth.ca">{{Cite web|url=https://www.uleth.ca/retired-faculty/content/history-u-l|title=History of U of L {{!}} University of Lethbridge|website=www.uleth.ca|access-date=2020-01-15}}</ref> The current location of the university was chosen only after an intense community debate with the provincial government which wanted the university to be located in east Lethbridge. After the university's first convocation on May 18, 1968, more than 500 students, faculty and community members held a protest march in support of having the university located in west Lethbridge. Soon after, the government decided west Lethbridge would be the university's permanent location.<ref name="uleth.ca"/>

University Hall was designed by the renowned architect [[Arthur Erickson]] and sits within the coulees above the Oldman River. University Hall was selected as one of four buildings to appear on a Canadian postage stamp celebrating the 100th anniversary of the [[Royal Architectural Institute of Canada]] (RAIC).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.uleth.ca/facilities/planning/content/university-hall-today|title=University Hall Today {{!}} University of Lethbridge|website= www.uleth.ca|access-date=2020-01-15}}</ref>
