Saskatchewan as of June 30, 2012, but
his legacy will endure.
The success of the U of S under President MacKinnon
was trumped only by his ambitions for the university,
which continue to set our course moving forward.
With President MacKinnon as our president, the U of S
has grown in many ways. We are welcoming more
students from more places around the world, we are
physically expanding to accommodate the important
research, learning and discovery taking place on our
campus, and we are building deeper connections with
the communities around Saskatchewan and beyond. We

the future and confident that we can achieve anything we
aspire towards.

College of Engineering
builds solid reputation
T
he College of Engineering has risen from
humble beginnings to become the innovative
and world‑renowned school that it is today.
Established in 1912 with a mere handful of students,
the first Bachelor of Science in Engineering degrees
were awarded in the spring of 1916 to three proud
Civil Engineering graduates. By the 1920s, the college
had its own building and dean, as well as a bright and
enthusiastic group of undergraduates who quickly
distinguished themselves with
major building projects, many of
which now form the backbone of
Saskatoon’s skyline—and cities
further abroad.
Our proud
tradition
1912
1940’s
Today as it celebrates
its centennial, the
College of Engineering
boasts over 1,500
undergraduates
and more than 300
graduate students.
There is a sense of pride as we reflect on the traditions
of the first 100 years of the college. There is also a sense
of excitement as we look to the future. With a solid
foundation that has grown stronger through decades, we
will take time to celebrate our successes and continue to
strengthen the traditions that have grown along the way.

Studious
Linda Wason-Ellam, professor of
curriculum studies in the College of
Education, believes a hand puppet is a
powerful teaching tool. She believes art
and image are more powerful mediums
than many realize. And she has spent her
48-year career using all of these things
to bring literacy to a special group of
children—those who are not achieving in
school.
These days Wason-Ellam is focusing her
research on children with fetal alcohol
spectrum disorder (FASD). With the
assistance of a Saskatchewan Health
Research Foundation grant, and as part
of an interdisciplinary FASD research
network, Wason-Ellam is working on
developing literacy screening tools for
FASD, determining characteristics of
the disorder and identifying patterns of
functional and essential literacy skills.

Adventurous
An innovative program offered by the U of S
College of Medicine is connecting future
physicians with marginalized communities
and is helping medical students learn more
about the social determinants of health –
both at home and internationally.
Making the Links, delivered through the
college’s Division of Social Accountability,
is a certificate program that combines
academic courses with service learning in
underserved communities.
The 10 undergraduate medical students
involved with the program annually have the
opportunity to work in Saskatoon’s inner city,
in the remote communities of Ile-a-la‑Crosse
and Dillon in northern Saskatchewan, and in
the countries of Mozambique and Zimbabwe
in southern Africa.

Ambitious
-
A new partnership between the College of Nursing and the North Central Community Association (NCCA) has created a dynamic
community health clinical placement in Regina, providing nursing students a unique opportunity to experience a different kind of
nursing while making a positive impact on the city's core neighbourhood. Participants Andrea Collins and Jennifer Cowie (inset) were
profoundly affected by the experience. By working closely with a diverse population, the pair gained direct insight into the broad
determinants of health and a more expansive view of nursing and community.

Since forming in 2005, the University of Saskatchewan Space Design Team has achieved international success working on various
projects, including the opportunity to compete four times in NASA’s space elevator competition. The team’s next challenge?
Designing, building and launching a nanosatellite as part of Canadian Satellite Design Challenge. The team moved one step closer
to this goal with a successful presentation this spring at the critical design review held at the David Florida Laboratory in Ottawa.
