This is your chance to make a difference on campus!   U of S students create an energetic community where diverse personalities and interests thrive—inside and outside the classroom. Becoming a Student At Large (SAL) on a USSU committee is a great way to get involved with your students’ union and contribute to making our campus a better place.

There’s no better way to start the year! Join us at USSU Welcome Week on September 4-6 at the University of Saskatchewan—where campus comes alive with excitement, music, and more!
