🎉🚨 Saskatchewan Debate Watch Party 🚨🎉

The provincial election is heating up, and we’re gathering to watch the most important debate of the season! 🗳️🗣️ Join us as we hear from the leaders, discuss the issues, and get ready to make our voices heard on election day!

🗓️ Date: October 16
⏰ Time: 5:30pm
📍 Location: Louis’

Come for the debate, stay for the good company! Whether you’re already decided or still on the fence, this is your chance to dive into the key issues affecting our province. 🌾

Everyone’s welcome—bring friends. Let’s keep Saskatchewan strong and informed.

The USSU Teaching Excellence Awards recognize professors and Teaching Assistants who demonstrate teaching excellence at the University of Saskatchewan. An excellent teacher not only gives us access to knowledge but also gives us the tools to turn that knowledge into wisdom. Students evaluate teachers and their environment in a number of ways; three important areas include enthusiasm, organization, and fairness of evaluation. These aspects culminate in an environment where students feel free to explore, critique, grow, and become leaders.

Do you have a Professor or Teaching Assistant who inspires you? Is your instructor passionate about teaching? Do they go that extra mile to ensure you succeed?

Nominate them for a Teaching Excellence Award!

Nominations are open from October 15-27.
