University of Calgary Information Session Today
Dear all,
University of Calgary is visiting NIS today at 12:00-13:00, LGR 1. Looking forward to seeing you soon.
At the University of Calgary, innovation extends far beyond the classroom. Our researchers made headlines by teleporting a photon 44 km across Calgary, while our Human Performance Lab has worked with athletes including David Beckham during footwear development. Students can learn in specialised spaces such as our dedicated ethical hacking lab and enjoy access to Canada’s largest racquet sports centre. Located just an hour from the Rocky Mountains, with Banff and Jasper within easy reach, Calgary offers a unique combination of world-class research, hands-on learning, and unforgettable outdoor adventure.
