Congratulations to this year's Golden Grads!
It has been 50 years since you graduated from USask in 1973, which means you are now a member of our Golden Grads family.
In honour of this milestone, we invite you to register to receive your complimentary golden alumni pin and commemorative parchment.
During registration, you will also have an opportunity to submit memories of your time on campus 50 years ago.
On Wednesday, November 8, 2023, we invite you to return to this webpage where we will launch our Golden Grads 2023 content to celebrate you!
Flash back to 1973...The top grossing movie of the year was The Exorcist. Popular books released include Johnathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach and Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut. Your "playlist" probably included Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree, Bad, Bad Leroy Brown or Killing Me Softly With His Song.
