For most students at the University of Saskatchewan, summer offers a level of respite from the academic rigors of the fall and winter months. However, the students that comprise the U of S Students’ Union have been active on campus all season, making preparations for the coming year.
Since taking office on March 22, the USSU executive has been entrusted with an expansive portfolio. As elected representatives for the entire undergraduate student body, the USSU executive have a number of responsibilities, ranging from negotiating tuition prices to liaising with the university’s executive leadership team to maintaining the rink in the bowl.
Since the reach of the USSU executive extends far into undergraduate life, the Sheaf contacted the USSU executive through email to discuss what they have been working on since taking office, their plans for the year and what advice they can offer to the students at the U of S.
