Why Run?

Members of the executive represent the voices of students on campus with university administration and the provincial government and many other key stakeholders. You can also have a significant effect on campus, by leading campaigns or organizing events, and helping to create a better campus environment for your fellow students.

Running in the USSU election can be one of the most amazing experiences you will have. Not only are you campaigning to have your voice heard, but the support you receive from friends is overwhelming. It takes courage to stand out and want to improve what happens on campus.

The USSU Teaching Excellence Awards recognizes 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 with which 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.

Do you have a Professor or Teaching Assistant that 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 until 4:30 on February 14, 2020.
