USSU Safewalk is looking for volunteers to promote a safe environment within Usask community!

Safewalk is a USSU service in which volunteers, with the help of Protective Services, accompany students to their destination on or near campus during evening hours (8:30-11:30 pm, Sunday-Thursday) and promote a safe campus environment throughout the school year. Outside of these hours, Protective Services provides walking escorts. This service is free and available to students, staff, faculty and campus visitors.

Email us at safewalk@ussu.ca if you are interested in volunteering with us!

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 from October 21 to November 1.

All undergraduate students are eligible to propose amendments to the USSU Bylaw. The USSU consults with the USSU lawyer to ensure that the proposed amendments adhere to the spirit and intent of the Bylaw.

The AGM will be held Thursday, November 21, 2019, at 6 pm in the Neatby Timlin Theatre (ARTS 241). Please bring your student card for verification as a current U of S student. Pizza and pop will be provided.

Please use the Amendment Form and email your proposed amendments to gm@ussu.ca
