The University of Alberta, which recently celebrated its centennial, is an educational epicentre to over 37 000 students in 18 different faculties. Among them are over 200 members of the University’s Ismaili Students’ Association (ISA). A self-funded, self-governing student group located at the main Edmonton campus, the ISA actively encourages its members to be positive, contributors to University society.
Through the Association, young Ismaili women and men partake in a range of campus activities, such as ISA-supported intramural sports teams that include ultimate (Frisbee), volleyball, soccer, and floor hockey. In recent years, the ISA has raised funds for cancer research through its annual Head Shave for Cancer event. It has also canvassed donations and helped build awareness of the Canadian Blood Donor Clinic, and operated a food bank benefiting less fortunate members on campus.
