“Effective time management is crucial in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program, especially given the demanding course load,” said Dr. Solina Richter (DCur), dean of the College of Nursing.
“These students have successfully balanced their nursing studies with their rigorous sports commitments, excelling in both areas. It was a privilege to attend the Huskie Athletics U SPORTS Academic All-Canadians Breakfast alongside all USask athletes, and it was especially rewarding to celebrate our outstanding nursing students.”

Together we will support and inspire students to succeed. We invite you to join by supporting current and future students' needs at USask.
