Every October, high school students, parents, counsellors and others are invited to spend a day on campus to experience the University of Saskatchewan in full swing. Through interactive sessions and tours, they learn more about the wide variety of programs available at the U of S.
This annual event, called Experience US!, took place on Oct. 13 and 14, 2011, and was a great success.
We hope to see you next year!
