Alumni Message

Congratulations to the class of 2011—the
100th University of Saskatchewan graduating
class.
Our first graduating class in 1912 was small
with just eight graduates. Little did those
farmers, politicians and business people know
that their fellow alumni would one day include
a Canadian prime minister, Nobel Prize
winners, Olympic medalists, Rhodes Scholars,
literary prize winners, and leaders in almost
every imaginable profession and field of study.
As you pass from U of S student to U of S
alumnus, you stand with over 135,000 living
graduates who, year after year, continue to
build upon the foundation of success that
traces back to those eight men and women.
Just as you had the support of your family,
classmates, professors and numerous others to
help you achieve success as a student, you now
have the support of your U of S alumni family
to help you along your journey of learning and
discovery.
My hope is that future generations will look
upon your achievements with respect and
wonder, aspiring to build upon your success—
just as you build upon the legacy left by the
first 100 years of U of S graduates. I encourage
you to share your success with us, so we can
celebrate together and share it with the world.
Congratulations class of 2011, and welcome to
the U of S alumni family.
