EDMONTON - The University of Alberta's 100th birthday is the subject of a new postage stamp being unveiled this week by Canada Post.

Done in the school's traditional green and gold colours, the stamp features a stylized depiction of the cupola on top of the dentistry-pharmacy centre, one of the U of A's oldest and most architecturally lauded buildings.

The design was chosen by a Canada Post advisory group in collaboration with school administrators and stamp artist Susan Mavor of Vancouver.
