President’s Message 

Peter MacKinnon 

I want to express a very warm welcome to the graduates, families and friends who 

join us today. Convocation is the University’s most important ceremony, for it is 

here that we celebrate the accomplishments of our students and the contributions 

of their loved ones to their success. You should be proud of this day and of the 

commitment and sacrifice that it represents. 

In this our Centennial year, we at the University of Saskatchewan are especially 

proud of our accomplishments over the past 100 years, and it is thanks in large part 

to you, our students, who have helped us to achieve our goal of building a worldclass 

institution of higher learning. 

As we celebrate our successes with pride and anticipate our future with excitement, 

the University of Saskatchewan is ready to expand on the original vision of our 

founders. Our mission now is to engage fully in all we do, to enlighten all we serve, 

and to explore all aspects of our world. We hope that you—our graduates—will 

carry on this same mission as you engage, enlighten and explore within your own 

new life. 

We extend to you our very best wishes for the future. We hope that you will stay in 

touch with us through our University of Saskatchewan alumni family, and that we 

will have the opportunity to welcome you ‘home’ to our campus many times in the 

years ahead. 

Warmest congratulations!

Alumni Message 

heather magotiaux 

Convocation is a great opportunity to reflect on our past accomplishments and look 

to the future. The leaders and builders of University of Saskatchewan had great vision 

and expectations for the U of S. I think that you would agree that our University has 

emerged as a great Canadian university and, in areas of academic preeminence, we 

are recognized as world leaders. The University of Saskatchewan is a place where 

great minds meet. 

As the graduates receive their degrees today, they join a larger community of over 

120,000 U of S alumni worldwide. For more than 100 years, our graduates have 

become leaders in their chosen professions and enhanced the profile and reputation 

of the University of Saskatchewan. This responsibility has been passed to you to 

become our new leaders and innovators. Create a legacy that future U of S students 

and alumni can celebrate over the next century. And don’t forget to stay connected 

with your University, your College and your classmates during your lifelong journey. 

Use your energy and passion to live and build well and continue to develop your 

great mind. Congratulations to the class of 2008.

(An excerpt) 

Sing for Saskatchewan, 

And let your song ring out, 

And rise for Saskatchewan, 

Saskatchewan we shout.

Inside the Greystone walls, 

Then rise for Saskatchewan, 

Give your song, your heart,

Our Team 

The U of S Huskies are at the centre of our 

school spirit. With over 350 athletes, 15 

teams and countless championship titles, 

the U of S has developed a reputation as a 

dominant player in interuniversity sports.

Great Minds 

Since 1907, 

the University of Saskatchewan 

has been building a proud 

tradition. We have evolved from 

a prairie college to a centre 

of excellence in education 

and research. Our students, 

faculty, staff and alumni are a 

testament to our success. Their 

example has set a precedent 

for institutions across Canada, 

North America and the world.

Looking 

BACK 

Population 

In 1907, the year the University of 

Saskatchewan was established, the 

population of Saskatoon was roughly 

4,500 and the province of Saskatchewan, 

210,000. 

Saskatoon’s population today tops 200,000; 

Saskatchewan’s grazes the million mark. 

Students/Faculty 

In 1909, five faculty members taught the 

first group of 70 students. Classes were 

initially held in the Drinkle building in 

downtown Saskatoon. 

Currently more than 1,000 faculty members 

mentor a student body of nearly 20,000. 

Colleges 

Arts & Science and Agriculture were the 

first two colleges to be established at the 

U of S—in 1908 and 1909, respectively. 

Today, 13 colleges and four schools offer 

58 degrees, diplomas and certificates in 

over 100 areas of study. 

Tuition 

In 1909, tuition fees were $6 per class. 

Today the cost ranges from approximately 

$800 to $1,400 per class. 

graduates 

In 1912, the U of S honoured its first 

graduating class of seven students. The 

ceremony was held at Nutana Collegiate. 

At this year’s Convocation spring and fall 

ceremonies, we will honour nearly 4,000 

new graduates. 

Emmanuel College students in the classroom, 1920. A-1606 

“The atmosphere of Saskatoon 

will be changed. We shall rise to 

a higher plane of being.” 

The University of 

Saskatchewan was 

established by the University 

Act on April 3, 1907, only 18 months 

after Saskatchewan became a 

province. 

The people of the province, as well as 

their government, were instrumental 

in shaping the new University. The 

provincial government requested 

all residents who were graduates 

of a Canadian or British university 

to form the first Convocation and 

elect the University’s Senate. In 

1908, the Board selected Professor 

– Comment by local lawyer R.W. Shannon upon learning that 

Saskatoon had been chosen as home to the province's University 

Walter Charles Murray, of Dalhousie 

University, as the first President. 

Classes in Arts and Science began 

in September, 1909, in downtown 

Saskatoon. Construction of the 

campus began in 1910 and the first 

buildings were occupied in the fall 

of 1912. They included the College 

Building (Administration Building), 

Saskatchewan Hall (a student 

residence), residences for the Dean 

of Agriculture and the President, 

a laboratory for Engineering and a 

number of farm buildings. 


College Building construction takes shape, November 1911. A-23 

From the beginning, the University 

established an emphasis on research 

and teaching in a context of 

community service, and encouraged 

co‐operation among departments 

and divisions in tackling common 

problems. The development of 

rust-resistant strains of wheat, for 

example, initiated by the 

University and federal 

and provincial research 

agencies, has been of 

untold value to the 

prairie economy. 

In 1909, the University 

had 70 students and 

five professors, including 

the President. Today there 

are over 19,000 

students studying in 

13 colleges and four schools. This is 

the only university in Canada with 

five health-science colleges and a 

major teaching hospital on the same 

campus. 

The University of Saskatchewan 

overlooks the South Saskatchewan 

River. Most early buildings on 

campus are Collegiate Gothic 

in style and are constructed in a 

local dolomite, popularly known 

as greystone. Subsequently

LOOKING 

With sights firmly fixed on the future, 

the University of Saskatchewan has 

embarked on an ambitious effort to advance 

its already significant contribution of 

knowledge, innovation and leadership to the 

people and economy of this province, this 

country and the world. 

Our plan commits energy and resources where 

they count the most—to enhancing the student 

experience, to encouraging collaboration and 

to supporting research, scholarly and artistic 

endeavour. 

Success will require that University of 

Saskatchewan students be well prepared to 

thrive in the ‘knowledge age,’ that they be 

equipped to succeed. In the coming years, 

the University will explore improvement and 

innovation both inside the classroom and out, 

all the while ensuring the campus remains 

a welcoming place for Aboriginal students, 

students from other parts of Canada and those 

from nations around the world. 

The future will also see the University establish 

across the institution a culture of research 

and scholarship that attracts top faculty and 

students. Supporting this move are world-class 

facilities that are already in place, like the 

Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization 

(VIDO), or are under construction, such as 

the $251-million Academic Health Sciences 

project. These and other facilities will play 

a role in shining the light on current and 

emerging areas of excellence. 

In keeping with our founders’ early vision, 

the University of Saskatchewan will continue 

to be a model of innovation, excellence, 

diversity and leadership throughout the 

post‐secondary education sector, and beyond. 


C 

The word “Convocation” arises from 

the Latin “cum” meaning “together,” 

and “vocare” meaning “to call.” Our 

Convocation ceremony is a calling together of the 

new graduates of the University of Saskatchewan, 

symbolizing the historical practice of calling 

together all former graduates. In current times, 

the major functions of Convocation are the 

election of representatives to University governing 

bodies and the admission of candidates to degrees. 

The Chancellor, elected by Convocation as its 

Chair, is the highest official and spokesperson of 

the University. 

The Convocation ceremony marks the transition 

from the role of student to the holder of a degree 

with its accompanying rights and privileges. 

The ceremony, solemnized in the presence of the 

University community and family and friends 

of the graduands, consists of three parts: a 

procession marking the leaving of the old status 

and entering the new; the President’s statement 

to the graduands, the Secretary’s petition and the 

Chancellor’s consent for their admission; followed 

by individual presentation by their Dean and 

admission by the Chancellor to the degrees to 

which they are entitled. As graduates are admitted 

to their degrees, a graduation hood, which has a 

colour symbolizing a particular degree, is placed 

over each graduate’s head.

Entrance 

The members of Convocation in 

their academic robes march in 

procession into the ceremony in 

the following order: Graduands 

in the order in which their 

degrees are to be conferred; 

Faculty; Board of Governors; 

Senate; Guests of Honour; The 

President; The Chancellor; 

The Lieutenant Governor. When 

the members of Convocation reach 

their places they remain standing 

during the Vice-Regal Salute, 

the singing of O Canada and the 

Invocation. 

Order of the Ceremony 

The first business is the Conferring 

of Honorary Degrees, followed by 

Convocation Address, President’s 

Statement to the Graduands, 

the Conferring of Degrees and 

the Presentation of Awards. The 

meeting is closed by the Chancellor 

rising and asking the audience to 

join in the singing of God Save the 

Queen and leading the procession 

in the reverse order out of the hall. 

Degree Ceremony 

the petition 

The University Secretary on behalf 

of all the Candidates, addresses 

the Chancellor and Senate in these 

words: 

“Eminent Chancellor, President, I 

present to you the petition that the 

candidates to be named, having 

fulfilled all the requirements of the 

statutes, may be admitted to the 

degrees and certificates to which 

they are entitled”. 

the admission 

The Chancellor then addresses the 

candidates in these words: 

“By virtue of the authority vested 

in me by the Legislature of this 

Province, and with the consent of 

the Council of this University, I 

consent to admit you to the degrees 

and certificates to which you are 

entitled and to invest you with all 

the powers, rights and privileges 

pertaining thereto.” 

the PRESENTATION 

The Dean of the Faculty, or 

designate, followed by the 

candidates of that Faculty, 

“Eminent Chancellor, on behalf of 

the Faculty of ______, I present to 

you these Scholars and ask that you 

will confer on them the degree of 

______ .” 

As the Dean speaks the candidate’s 

name in full, the candidate moves 

forward in front of the Chancellor. 

Then the Chancellor says, “I admit 

you” and the University Secretary or 

the Registrar places the hood over 

the candidate’s head. Hereupon the 

candidate passes to the Chancellor’s 

right, is greeted by the President, 

and receives the degree parchment. 

Degrees in Absentia 

In such cases, the University 

Secretary says: 

“Eminent Chancellor, in the name of 

the Faculties, I ask you to grant the 

degrees and certificates, in absentia, 

to those students whose names 

appear in the printed program and 

who were not able to be present 

today.” 

The Chancellor replies: 

approaches the Chancellor from “At the request of the Faculties 

The ceremony comprises the Petition, the left and presents the candidates I authorize these degrees and 

the Admission, and the Presentation. 

University of Saskatchewan 

with these words: 

9 

certificates to be granted.” 

Spring Convocation 2008

The Convocation Ceremony 

Academic Costumes 

Academic costume lends an element of 

colourful pageantry to the Convocation 

proceedings. This traditional clothing— 

worn on a daily basis at universities in 

earlier times—is now more commonly 

reserved for ceremonial functions. 

At the University of Saskatchewan, 

the following academic costume 

is adopted to be worn upon all 

appropriate occasions: 

The gown resembles a long cape 

with full sleeve cut to elbow and 

terminating in a point for the 

Bachelor’s degree; with long sleeve 

and a semi-circular cut at the bottom 

for the Master’s degree; and with round 

open sleeves for the Doctor’s degree. 

The material is black for the Bachelor’s 

degree, and black material or silk for 

the Master’s and Doctor’s degrees. 

The Doctor’s gown may have a border 

down the front on either side of a 

color distinctive of the character of the 

degree. 

The hoods for the Bachelor’s and 

Master’s degrees are of black 

broadcloth. For the Doctor’s (Ph.D.) 

degree the hood is scarlet cloth with a 

blue lining. The Master’s and Doctor’s 

hoods have a lining and the Bachelor’s 

an edging (and in some cases, a lining) 

of a color distinctive of the character of 

the degree.

Honorary Doctor of Science 

Michael Shaw 

Dr. Michael Shaw, Professor Emeritus 

of the University of British Columbia, 

is a distinguished plant physiologist 

who enjoys an international reputation 

for his authoritative research on the 

physiology and biochemistry of hostparasite 

relationships. In particular, he 

has directed his efforts to the cell and 

molecular biology of this interaction in 

rust fungi, obligate parasites that infect 

several economically important crop 

plants. 

Born in Barbados, Dr. Shaw obtained 

his Ph.D. from McGill University in 

1949, and joined the Department 

of Biology of the University of 

Saskatchewan in 1950, serving as 

Department Head from 1961 to 1967, 

before becoming Dean of Agricultural 

Sciences at the University of British 

Columbia. He was subsequently Vice- 

President (Academic Development) 

from 1975 to 1981 and Vice-President 

(Academic) and Provost from 1981 to 

1983. From 1983 until his retirement 

in 1989, he held the title of University 

Professor, an honour only rarely 

conferred upon the most distinguished 

faculty members. 

Dr. Shaw has played a significant 

role in the development of science 

in Canada. He has served on many 

committees of the National Research 

Council of Canada and Agriculture 

Canada and was a founding 

member of the Natural Sciences 

and Engineering Research Council 

of Canada. He has been President 

of the Canadian Society of Plant 

Physiologists, the Canadian Botanical 

Association and the Biological Council 

of Canada. From 1964 to 1979, he 

was Editor of the Canadian Journal of 

Botany. 

Dr. Shaw has received many honours 

in recognition of the importance of his 

scientific contributions. He is a Fellow 

of the Royal Society of Canada and 

was awarded the Society's Flavelle 

Medal in 1976. He has received 

the Gold Medal of the Canadian 

Society of Plant Physiologists and the 

first Gold Medal of the Biological 

Council of Canada. He has been 

elected a Fellow of the Canadian 

Phytopathological Society, the 

American Phytopathological Society, 

the New York Academy of Sciences 

and the Linnean Society of London. 

McGill University in 1975 and the 

University of British Columbia in 

2003 have awarded him honorary 

doctorates. 

Dr. Shaw's outstanding career in 

teaching, research, administration and 

public service in itself merits the award 

of an honorary degree. However, it 

is his particular contribution to the 

University of Saskatchewan during a 

period of seventeen years that makes 

the award by this University entirely 

appropriate. He began his pioneering 

host-parasite studies during that period 

and carried them to an advanced 

level of achievement, bringing 

international acclaim to the University, 

and his leadership guided the 

Department during its period of most 

vigorous growth and established the 

foundation upon which its subsequent 

development has rested. 

Dr. Shaw met his wife, the former Jean 

Berkinshaw, while they were both at 

McGill. They have four children.

the University of Toronto, where Jim 

has had a long and fruitful research 

career. 

Shortly after joining the Ontario 

Cancer Institute, he started 

collaborating with Dr. Ernest 

McCulloch. This led to their 

pioneering work defining the hallmark 

properties of stem cells, including 

their capacity for self-renewal and 

pluripotency. This seminal discovery 

was the first evidence for the existence 

of stem cells, which are currently of 

great interest because of their potential 

for use in the treatment of a wide 

variety of medical disorders. The work 

of Till and McCulloch also formed 

the basis of bone marrow stem cell 

transplants, now widely used in the 

treatment of patients with leukemia 

and other blood disorders. Not only 

has their work stood the test of time, 

it still forms the basis for much of 

the work currently being done in the 

rapidly expanding area of stem cell 

research. 

Dr. Till carried out research ranging 

from work on hematological stem cells 

to membrane biology and somatic cell 

genetics. He subsequently developed 

an interest in studies on the quality of 

life issues of cancer patients. This has 

led to his current advocacy in support 

of more open online access to the 

peer-reviewed research literature, for 

everyone for whom it's not currently 

freely accessible, including patients. 

In contrast to many classical academic 

researchers, he has used his basic 

knowledge and training and applied it 

to a wide range of different problems. 

The fact that he has made major 

contributions to many of these areas 

illustrates his ability to view problems 

from a unique perspective. 

In 2005 Dr. Till was recognized by 

the Lasker Foundation with the award 

of the prestigious 2005 Lasker Award 

for Basic Medical Research. This 

award is one of many, which include 

being made an Officer of the Order 

of Canada (1994), induction into 

the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame 

(2004), and being a recipient of the 

Gairdner Foundation International 

Award (1969). 


Distinguished Researcher Award 

Wei Xiao 

The Distinguished Researcher Award 

recognizes a faculty member’s 

contribution to scholarship through 

creation, expansion, and critique of 

knowledge. Wei Xiao, department 

head and professor of microbiology 

and immunology, is the Spring 2008 

award recipient. 

Professor Xiao is a significant 

contributor to the fields of DNA repair 

and cancer research. Colleagues from 

across the globe have described the 

microbiologist’s work as pioneering, 

seminal, and at the forefront of a new 

wave of DNA repair research. 

Xiao’s research has already garnered a 

National Cancer Institute of Canada’s 

(NCIC) Research Scientist Award and 

a spot on the Canadian Who’s Who 

list since 1996. This praise is founded 

on years of ground-breaking research. 

For instance, Xiao discovered a pair 

of closely related genes called Beauty 

and Beast that may govern cancer 

development. Uncovering Beauty and 

Beast was later declared a “Milestone 

in Canadian Health Research” by the 

Canadian Institutes of Health Research 

(CIHR). 

Xiao is also known for contributing to 

finding NEMO, a tiny protein that he 

once described as, “an essential link 

in the chain of events resulting in the 

cells’ efforts to defend the vast ocean 

of the human body against invaders 

such as viral and bacterial infections.” 

Finding this immune response switch 

secured a place in a 2004 issue of the 

renowned journal Nature. 

More recently, Xiao published a paper 

in the prestigious research journal 

Cell identifying a 9-1-1 signalling 

complex that cells can use to initiate 

an SOS response in their fight against 

carcinogens. 

Fellow researchers in the field have 

already lauded this breakthrough, 

indicating they have awaited it for 

over 20 years. It is no surprise, then, 

that this summer Xiao will share his 

discovery at the prominent Gordon 

Research Conference on Mutagenesis 

at Oxford University. 

Throughout his career, Xiao has joined 

with researchers from across Canada, 

the United States, France, China, 

Australia, and Japan to author more 

than 70 articles in peer-reviewed 

journals. His collaborative work has 

appeared in notable publications such 

as Cell, Nature, Nature Structural and 

Molecular Biology, Journal of Cell 

Biology and Plant Cell. 

Xiao has also contributed to the 

scientific community by serving on 

grant review committees for NCIC, 

CIHR, and the International Union 

Against Cancer. 

He began this remarkable research 

career by earning a B.Sc. from 

Nanjing Agricultural University in 

China, a M.Sc. from the University 

of Toronto, and a Ph.D. from 

the University of Saskatchewan. 

Following his Ph.D., he served 

as a research fellow at Harvard 

University’s School of Public Health. 

Xiao has helped young scholars 

find similar academic success by 

supervising 19 post-graduate theses 

and a number of postdoctoral fellows. 

As both a researcher and teaching 

professor, he has also guided many 

undergraduates toward research 

careers, including more than 25 

summer students. His expert guidance 

was recognized by these same 

students when the College of Medicine 

Graduate Student Society gave him the 

Supervisor of the Year Award in 2007. 


Master Teacher Award 

Baljit Singh 

Professor Baljit Singh is a most 

deserving recipient of the Master 

Teacher Award at the University of 

Saskatchewan. During a relatively 

short period of time, Dr. Singh has 

achieved high acclaim related to 

teaching which is unparalleled. Many 

faculty require decades to develop 

and demonstrate leadership and 

excellence in teaching. In addition to 

numerous teaching awards including 

the Norden Distinguished Professor 

Award (2003), he has also been 

recognized internationally for his 

excellence in research and graduate 

student training. Dr. Singh clearly 

exemplifies the “Teacher – Scholar” 

model promoted by the University 

in a passionate, unselfish and 

enthusiastic manner. 

Dr. Singh provides lectures in 

the subject area of anatomy. This 

fundamentally important discipline 

may lack the glamour and excitement 

of many clinically oriented courses, 

but Baljit has the unique ability 

to raise the profile of the subject 

material. His lectures have been 

described on repeated occasions as 

dynamic, full of enthusiasm, well 

organized, innovative, fantastic and 

challenging. He is totally concerned 

that students learn and understand. 

One colleague states, “he emphasizes 

understanding of concepts more than 

rote memorization and develops 

students’ life long learning skills.” 

One student wrote that “Dr. Singh has 

the elusive ability to explain complex 

pathophysiological processes in a 

simple straightforward manner.” 

Outside the classroom, Dr. Baljit Singh 

provided leadership and mentorship to 

many students through his involvement 

in the “Faculty-in-Residence” program, 

which is now a nationally and 

internationally recognized student 

support program. Through this program 

University students, mostly first-year 

students, are provided insightful 

guidance and discussion forums on a 

variety of topics ranging from political, 

social to philosophical themes. One 

colleague indicated that “he sees the 

students' experience on a holistic level 

with academics being important, but 

only a segment of the whole.” His 

personable style with an infectious 

enthusiastic demeanor greatly 

encourages student participation. 

Dr. Singh has championed many 

educational initiatives in recent years. 

He enabled the Western College of 

Veterinary Medicine to be the first 

Canadian university to participate 

in the Merek Veterinary Scholars 

Program, a summer research and 

learning experience. He provided 

leadership in the Department of 

Veterinary Biomedical Sciences during 

the recent curriculum review. He led 

and coordinated the development of 

an innovative “Biomedical Rounds” 

for first year students which integrated 

concepts from the basic sciences 

of anatomy, histology, embryology, 

physiology and biochemistry. 

Internationally, he has provided 

leadership in teaching of anatomical 

sciences as President of the American 

Association of Veterinary Anatomists. 

Baljit Singh is distinctly a gifted 

teacher. His personable and 

enthusiastic style has inspired 

many students from a diversity of 

perspectives. The impact of his 

teaching will influence the pathways 

of both students and colleagues for 

many years. He leads by example, not 

only academically, but also in every 

aspect of daily life. 


Award for Distinction in Outreach and Engagement 

Dr. Henry Classen 

Dr. Henry Classen's contributions 

to outreach and engagement were 

evident from his first days as a new 

faculty member nearly 30 years ago. 

Since his appointment, Dr. Classen 

has demonstrated outstanding and 

sustained effort through activities and 

programs on poultry management 

and nutrition designed to inform 

and involve external publics and 

partnerships about the core missions of 

the University of Saskatchewan. 

Dr. Classen is an alumnus of the 

University of Saskatchewan and 

Professor and Head of the Department 

of Animal and Poultry Science 

in the College of Agriculture and 

Bioresources. His outreach and 

engagement accomplishments 

include numerous collaborations 

across disciplines, work with other 

universities and partnerships beyond 

the borders of the campus. The 

collaborations include working with 

engineers, animal species specialists, 

pathologists, medical doctors, plant 

scientists and physiologists. For 

over 25 years, he has developed 

relationships with individual 

producers, boards and processing 

plants through the University Poultry 

Extension Service, described as 

unique in Canada. He holds eight 

patents granted and his involvement 

with the University of Saskatchewan 

Poultry Centre speaks to his strong 

research interests and his commitment 

to sustainability and economic 

development. 

He has served as President of the 

Poultry Science Association, an 

international scientific association, 

and President of the Canadian 

Branch of the World's Poultry Science 

Association. In 2007, Dr. Classen 

was awarded the Poultry Science 

Association Fellow. He has received 

accolades and awards including the 

American Feed Industry Association 

Nutrition Research Award in 1993, 

the Alberta Poultry Serviceman of the 

Year Award in 1994 and was part of a 

team that received the Saskatchewan 

Award of Innovation in 2005. His 

commitment to teaching is evidenced 

by a group of graduate students who 

wrote in support of Dr. Classen that 

he "provides an atmosphere for his 

students that is powerful, stimulating 

and intellectually based" and the fact 

that he has received the College of 

Agriculture & Bioresources Professor 

of the Year award twice. 

The industry has such great respect 

for his work that he has been asked 

to develop protocols and to conduct 

research to address industry-wide 

concerns. He has served on award 

and scholarship selection committees 

and a variety of boards and councils. 

One supporter wrote that Professor 

Classen "epitomizes the very best 

of how a university professor can 

seamlessly integrate the scholarship 

of teaching, learning, discovery, 

knowledge translation, outreach, 

professional practice, and leadership. 

All of his work is characterized 

by its interdisciplinary nature and 

by the strong connections that are 

sustained between the University and 

communities and businesses that make 

up the poultry industry." 


President’s Service Award 

Lynn Guina 

Special food venues in the Bowl, 

University ambassadors and a VIP golf 

cart transportation service were just 

some of Lynn Guina’s ideas that came 

to fruition during Congress 2007 at the 

University of Saskatchewan, and just 

three examples of the commitment 

and dedication to her job that earned 

her this year’s President’s Service 

Award. 

As Director of Hospitality Services 

at the University, and throughout 

her more than 20 years with the 

institution, Lynn has consistently 

demonstrated the kind of ‘can do’ 

attitude that motivates and inspires 

others, and brings positive recognition 

to the University of Saskatchewan. 

Whether she is overseeing the visit of 

a single VIP to campus or managing 

the logistics of the country’s largest 

gathering of academics, Lynn always 

sees the big picture while keeping tabs 

on the smallest details. It is always 

about service. 

For those who supported Lynn’s 

nomination for this award, two events 

stand out as epitomizing her work 

ethic and value to the University of 

Saskatchewan. By pulling together a 

dynamic and cohesive team to handle 

logistics for Congress 2007, Lynn 

ensured campus was a welcoming and 

accommodating venue for some 6,000 

delegates from across the country. 

Her diligent preparation along with 

her nimble and innovative approach 

to problem solving made Congress a 

success for both the participants and 

the University. 

Nominators also talked at length about 

her total devotion to meeting the 

housing and food needs of northern 

Saskatchewan residents evacuated to 

campus because of forest fires in 2006. 

Working virtually around the clock, 

Lynn demonstrated what the term 

"service" means at the University of 

Saskatchewan. 

Raised on a dairy farm near Radisson, 

Lynn was involved in 4-H and a 

number of high school activities 

before she moved to Saskatoon to 

study dietetics. She began her career 

at the University in Food Services and 

has served in a number of capacities, 

including acting manager of the 

Faculty Club and Conference and 

Catering Manager, before taking over 

management of Hospitality Services. 

In her work, Lynn pays particular 

attention to the needs of students. 

In partnerships with the Student and 

Enrolment Services Division, she 

initiated the practice of hiring only 

U of S students for summer jobs at 

Congress and this year, worked on 

a marketing project with third-year 

commerce students. 

The list of Lynn’s volunteer 

commitments at the local, provincial 

and national level is long. It includes 

membership on organizing committees 

for major events like the Special 

Olympics, Jeux Canada Summer 

Games and the CIS Vanier Cup as well 

as the presidency of the Canadian 

University and Colleges Conference 

Officers Association. 

In all that she does, Lynn Guina 

maintains the highest possible 

standards, and her sense of humour. It 

is an approach that has earned her not 

only the President’s Service Award but 

also the moniker “service hero” of the 

University of Saskatchewan. 


Governor General’s Academic Medals 

These medals are awarded to the undergraduate student and graduate student with the highest academic standing. 

Gold Medal 

Ivan Khalzov 

Ivan Khalzov was born in Borisoglebsk, 

Russia in 1980. He graduated with a 

Master of Science Degree in Applied 

Mathematics and Physics from Moscow 

Institute of Physics and Technology, 

Russia in 2003. In 2004, Ivan started 

his Ph.D. research in the Department 

of Physics and Engineering Physics at 

the University of Saskatchewan. He 

was the recipient of the University of 

Saskatchewan Graduate Scholarship, 

Herzberg Memorial Scholarship and 

Rowles Fellowship. Ivan completed his 

Doctor of Philosophy degree in 2008. 

Ivan’s thesis research is devoted 

to the theoretical study of 

magnetohydrodynamic flows—the 

flows of liquid metals or plasmas in the 

presence of a magnetic field. 

Such flows in annular channels 

are currently of great interest due 

to the experimental investigation 

of the so-called magnetorotational 

instability, which plays an important 

role in astrophysical applications. 

The results obtained by Ivan can 

now be used to optimize the design 

of magnetorotational instability 

experiments and to explain the 

experimental data. They may also be 

useful in fundamental astrophysical 

studies. 

Currently Ivan is a research 

associate at the Center for Magnetic 

Self‐Organization in Laboratory and 

Astrophysical Plasmas, University of 

Wisconsin, Madison. He continues 

his career as a physicist, exploring 

different phenomena in magnetized 

plasmas.

experiments and activities with 

Kindergarten to Grade 9 students at 

various schools in The Pas, Manitoba. 

She has also worked as a Linear 

Accelerator Operator at the Canadian 

Light Source Inc. 

Danielle spent eight weeks in early 

2008 volunteering as a Mathematics 

and Science teacher in a vocational 

school in Ghana. Other volunteer 

activities have included the Children’s 

Wish Foundation, the Canadian Special 

Olympics, the Western Canadian 

Summer Games and a Sunday School 

teacher at the Prince Albert Alliance 

Church.
