About us
The University of Saskatchewan has a longstanding history of collaboration with faith representatives who have contributed to a campus culture of respect, inclusion, and pluralism.
The growing diversity of religious and spiritual backgrounds and beliefs of the University community presents an opportunity to build robust connections with communities of faith, interfaith understanding, and co-operation. Faith Leaders are advocates for such conversations, provide spiritual guidance, support to the University community, advice regarding religious issues, and educational and cultural events.
Some Faith Leaders provide one-on-one spiritual counsel and all represent links to their wider faith communities.
Friends for Dinner
Friends for Dinner is a fun and unique opportunity for students who cannot be with their families during the December holidays. It gives them an opportunity to enjoy a meal with members of the USask and Saskatoon communities while they learn about the wide-range of traditions found in Canada as host families share the spirit of the holiday season.
Some international students have never experienced the rich varieties of food, friendship and traditions of the Canadian holiday season. Some are alone during these festive days and are unable to be with their families during the university break.
If you are a registered international or domestic student who is unable to be with family during the holiday season, you are encouraged to register.
Friends for dinner is organized by the University of Saskatchewan’s International Student and Study Abroad Centre (ISSAC), Student Wellness Centre (Peer Health) and Faith Leaders Council.
