As our office prepared for the University of Saskatchewan’s 100th anniversary celebrations in 2007, we felt it was important to recognize the ways in which our graduates worldwide have contributed to enriching the province, the country, and the world. Certainly, their contributions impact the profile and reputation of this great University, and what better time to recognize alumni than during the University’s Centennial.

We do believe the 100 Alumni of Influence represent the array of U of S alumni who have made profound and lasting contributions to our University and the world in which we live.

We invite you to learn more about this project and view the alumni biographies.
