If you need support, I urge you to connect with the wellness resources listed below that are available for students, faculty and staff.
Saskatchewan is home to one of Canada’s highest populations of people of Ukrainian descent. The University of Saskatchewan conducts programming and research related to Ukrainian culture, language, politics and history. We have partnerships and student exchanges with institutions in Ukraine. As a result, we have deep and strong relationships with Ukraine.
During this very difficult time, I encourage you to take care of yourselves and of each other.
