Outstanding students recognized

Fifty-three top graduating students from across the College of Arts & Science were recognized at the college's annual Convocation Awards Dinner and Ceremony on June 5, 2017.

The distinguished graduates, as well as the three faculty recipients of this year’s Teaching Excellence Awards, were presented with certificates at a special dinner and ceremony at the Delta Bessborough Hotel.

Representatives of the college, the Government of Saskatchewan, the Saskatoon Tribal Council and the U of S Alumni Association offered words of congratulations to the award-winning students.

“Wherever you go, take with you the knowledge that you have what it takes to build successful lives and careers,” Dean Peta Bonham-Smith told the students in attendance. “You carry within you your love of learning, your strong intellects and the ability to put the knowledge you acquire to work to make the world a better place.”
