Our purpose

Located in the heart of downtown Calgary, the USask Calgary Hub provides a gateway for alumni and community members to reunite with their USask roots. 

Home to our second largest alumni population outside of Saskatoon, Calgary has always been a hub of activity for the 13,000+ USask alumni who live and work in the Calgary region.

The USask Calgary Hub is a place for interaction, community building, learning and growing. It functions as a creative, urban space for members of our USask community including alumni, university leaders, faculty, staff, students, community stakeholders and business partners. The multi-use space features meeting rooms, gathering areas and landing zones that can serve as a home base for regional alumni groups, a space for professional and educational opportunities, and a venue for events and other USask activity in Calgary.

 

Our spaces

Preventing the next pandemic

A conversation with Volker Gerdts, Director and CEO of USask's Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization (VIDO).  

Dr. Gerdts and his team were the first in the country to isolate the COVID-19 virus and to have a vaccine candidate in pre-testing. Now, they are focused on predicting future pandemics and addressing them by combatting emerging diseases before they have a chance to evolve into a substantial threat.
