It is with a heavy heart that we share the passing of Dr. Janice Acoose. FNUniv Saskatoon Campus was privileged and honored to have such a tenacious and passionate woman who cared so deeply for her students, she wanted nothing more than to see them succeed. Janice was an author, newspaper columnist, filmmaker, Indigenous language advocate, and professor of Indigenous and English literature at the First Nations University of Canada in Saskatchewan. Her cultural roots stem from the Zagine Anishinabek (Saulteaux) First Nation and the Ninankawe Marival Metis. FNUniv Saskatoon Campus would like to extend condolences to her family, friends, and the many students who mourn the loss of such an amazing woman.

Good evening students! Hope everyone is enjoying their break and taking care of yourselves! Self care is important so please don't forget about you within your busy lives! We just wanted to announce the winners of the $50 gift cards and congratulate everyone who is reaching out and helping others. The winners are Tanisha Musqua, Jana Nyland, Jillian Chartier, Karalyn Harris, Rochelle Moore, and Daina Kary. Please contact us via chat or email to arrange pickup.
