Campaign for Students: Dream Big!

The Campaign for Students is underway for the 2016-17 school year.

By Sean Conroy

Thanks to the generosity of alumni and friends of the U of S, last year's campaign efforts raised over $848,000. All donations throughout the campaign supported a variety of student-centered initiatives, such as awards and bursaries. Funding from the campaign also provided funding for travel opportunities and extracurricular activities related to a student's area of study.

The theme for the Campaign for Students is Dream Big! Students come to the U of S in pursuit of achieving their big dreams. Donors like you play an important role in allowing students to realize their aspirations and ease their financial burdens.

Fourth-year Biochemistry student, Dakoda Herman is one of many students who have been a recipient of awards funded through the Campaign for Students. Dakoda dreams of one day leading the World Health Organization and combating infectious disease. "Expenses are always a challenge," he said.  "I am so grateful for the support I have received through the Campaign for Students. Knowing that there are people who believe in me and what I'm working to accomplish makes me feel like I am on the right path."

Your donation to the Campaign for Students ensures that students like Dakoda don't have to sacrifice study time by addressing financial obstacles. There are several ways to contribute to the Campaign for Students, including donations to specific colleges, funds, University Library, Huskie athletics, and more.

Giving to the Campaign for Students is easy, convenient, and any amount, big or small, makes a lasting impact on U of S students.

The Campaign for Students runs until April 30, 2017. Interested donors are encouraged to vist: www.give.usask.ca/students for more information on how to give.
