Celebrating our Golden Grads 

50 Graphic

Congratulations to this year's Golden Grads!

It has been 50 years since you graduated from USask in 1975, which means you are now a member of our esteemed 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 November 12, USask's Fall Convocation day, this celebration site will highlight stories and photos submitted by your fellow graduates as part of our "Memory Lane" feature; a list of honourees from the USask Class of 1975; our “Conversations with Golden Grads” series and more. 

For 50 years, you have been a part of the USask story as an alum. This is a special time to honour you and all you have accomplished.

 

Soundtrack to 1975

Take a trip down memory lane and listen to the most popular songs from 1975 in our specially curated USask Alumni Golden Grads Spotify playlist. The playlist features over 40 songs chosen from the most popular songs from that year.
