Experience US!
Monday, February 2


On February 2, 1998, the University of Saskatchewan will
be hosting approximately 1500 Grade 12 students from
around the province as they come to Experience US!

The primary purpose of Experience US! is to provide
prospective university students the opportunity to visit our
campus and find out what a day at the U of S is really like.
Students will tour colleges, listen to special lectures and
discover many of the services and opportunities we
provide. For example, the tour of Agriculture will
showcase our state-of-the art facilities while giving
students the opportunity to discuss degree and diploma
programs with faculty and students. Lectures will cover
topics from Forensic Science at the University of
Saskatchewan (Ernie Walker) to Fun with Fungus (Susan
Kaminskyj) to Sports Psychology - Psyched Up Not Out
(Kevin Spink). Students can also choose to investigate
other areas of interest such as career planning, financing
your education or preparing to go on an exchange.

Experience US! will begin at 9:30 am with an enthusiastic
welcome for students in the Education Gym. The hot new
band, Five Minute Miracle, will be performing and Brad
Grass from Hot 93FM and the infamous Henry Woolf will be
on hand to show the humorous side of university!

The Student Recruitment Office has been working closely
with all the Colleges, the University of Saskatchewan
Students' Union and other campus units to make sure there
is something of interest for everyone.
