Surviving US! Introduces Students to the U of S
Students preparing to attend the University of Saskatchewan for the first
time this fall will have a chance to get some inside information about
university life through Surviving US!
Surviving US! is designed to familiarize students with the U of S before
they come on campus. The program will visit communities throughout
Saskatchewan, giving students a chance to talk to and ask questions of
current U of S students and advisors.
"There are many things that students need to do in the next few months,"
explains Cora Schneider, Director of Student Recruitment. "We try to
provide students with the tools to make the transition to university easier.
The sessions cover registration, residence and housing, student loans, the
importance of attending Orientation and much more."
Surviving US! will make stops in the following locations:
La Ronge May 9 Churchill Comp. High
Lloydminster May 14 Holy Rosary High
North Battleford May 15 North Battleford Comp.
Prince Albert May 16 Carlton Comp. High
Tisdale May 17 Tisdale Middle and Secondary
Swift Current May 22 Swift Current Comp. High
Moose Jaw May 23 Vanier Collegiate
Estevan May 24 Estevan Comp.
Yorkton May 28 Yorkton Regional High
Regina May 29 Leboldus Collegiate
Saskatoon May 30 U of S Place Riel Theatre
Saskatoon June 16 U of S Place Riel Theatre
"I had a lot of questions when I was thinking about university," says Gabe
Andrews, second-year Arts & Science student. "The opportunity to talk to
someone who has been there and to the people that can give you answers helps
so much."
