Thanks to
Cor Van Raay’s
leadership,
generosity and
vision, the future
of agribusiness
in southern
Alberta is bright.
Dr. Cor Van Raay (LLD ’15), a
leading Canadian cattle producer
and the founder of Cor Van Raay
Farms, donated $5 million to
the University of Lethbridge and
Lethbridge College to establish the
Cor Van Raay Southern Alberta
Agribusiness Program.
Through this joint initiative, the
University is focused on creating
agribusiness educational opportunities
in the areas of agricultural
economics, business development,
entrepreneurship, finance, human
resource management, commodity
and futures trading, and general
management and leadership. The
University has also launched AGILITY,
an innovation and entrepreneurship
program with an initial focus on
agribusiness innovation.
On behalf of the students, faculty, staff
and administrators at the University
of Lethbridge as well as all southern
Albertans, thank you for investing in
our future, Dr. Van Raay.
