Please allow for 2-3 working days for a response and if possible, try to give us at least 60-90 days notice before your event so we can plan and promote accordingly.

Need nursing swag?

We occasionally have items with the UCalgary Nursing logo that faculty/staff can offer to visitors to the faculty or for faculty members to offer as tokens when they are presenting at a conference/giving a lecture outside UCalgary.

Should you require more items/something different and have a budget, please let us know and we can discuss options.

Please make your request at least 10 working days in advance of when you require the items.
