Since 1946, Urbana conventions have challenged more than 200,000 people to participate in the Great Commission. Urbana is sponsored by InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA and co-hosted by Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship of Canada and Groupes Bibiliques Universitaires Et Collégiaux Du Canada (GBUC). These Fellowships are members of the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students, a body of more than 140 national student movements worldwide.

Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship of Canada is a mission arm of the church, mobilizing a diverse community of Christians through its camps, student and alumni movements to proclaim Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord.

GBUC - Le Groupes Bibliques Universitaires et Collégiaux du Canada est un mouvement missionaire interdénominationnel qui mobilise les chrétiens des milieux d'enseignement francophones afin d'y proclamer Jésus Christ Seigneur et Sauveur.

InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA is a multi-denominational campus ministry established in 1941 to build collegiate fellowships, develop disciples who embody Biblical values and engage the campus in all its ethnic diversity with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
