CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CLASS OF 2000!
In the year 2000, you didn’t just party like it was 1999–you also graduated from USask! It likely feels like just yesterday you were walking across the stage at convocation, degree in-hand, ready to make your mark on the world. To commemorate this special 25-year silver anniversary of graduation, USask is excited to honour you as a Silver Grad.

REMEMBER WHEN...
The world was bracing for the impact of the Y2K bug, alarm clocks woke you up for class because smartphones didn't exist, you could only check your email once you dialed in to your internet provider, and no social media meant little-to-no evidence of the hijinks you got into!

IF YOU GRADUATED IN THE YEAR 2000 ...
You probably remember registering for classes over the phone using U-Star, hanging out at the Campus Cove arcade in Lower Place, going to movies at the Place Riel theatre, and going to the MUB to buy used textbooks at Browsers or to grab a drink at Louis' Pub.
REMEMBER WHEN...
Crop tops, cargo pants, low-rise jeans, butterfly clips and frosted tips were in, the Nokia cell phone was the new big thing and you could still go to Blockbuster to pick out your Friday night flick?
REMEMBER WHEN...
Burned CDs, Big Shiny Tunes, MP3 players and Napster were huge, PlayStation 2 launched with record numbers, and you printed directions from MapQuest (if you didn't already have a foldable road map in your car).
