Sept. 6-8: Welcome Week
That’s why you have to take advantage of all the perks that come your way, like free stuff, and in no month is there more free stuff than in September.
Celebrate back to school with some of Saskatoon’s best DJs in the Bowl, which start at 11 am daily. The USSU Executive will also be there handing out the USSU Survival Calendar, chock full of coupons and deals to last you the year. While you're there, enter to win one of five $500 USSU scholarships—because free tuition is the best tuition.
And what would Welcome Week be without swag? Look out for companies all over campus handing out free goodies.
Sept. 7: Pancake breakfast
The first meal of the day is the most important, so start it off with some complimentary flapjacks. Gluten-free options will be available.
Provided by the U of S employee associations (ASPA, CUPE 1975, CUPE 3287, PSAC, Resident Doctors of Saskatchewan and USFA).
7:30–10 am in the Bowl.
Sept. 7: Carless drive-in
Grab some snacks, a comfy lawn chair and settle into the Bowl for this year movie, Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Sept. 8: Huskie Football Homecoming Game
Show your valid student card and enjoy the game at no cost. Be sure to stick around for the traditional toga run at halftime—a U of S tradition unlike any other.
This year, the U of S Alumni Association is upping the ante. Join in on the pre-game fun in Rally Alley, located adjacent to Griffiths Stadium at PotashCorp Park. Enjoy food vendors, games and a performance from Canadian country music sensation Brock Andrews.
