• Commerce Class of 1983 - 25th Reunion

  On May 23 & 24, 2008, the U of S campus was the venue for the 25 year reunion of the U of S Commerce Class of 1983. An excellent turnout of grads from as far away as Denmark and as near as Saskatoon joined together for a fun filled, memory fest. We got re-acquainted on the Friday night with an old fashioned "Reading Room Social" (first time in 20 years!!) complete with music, refreshments and pizza. The Reading Room (old Commerce Building) hasn't changed a lot, but it did seem a lot smaller, though maybe we have just got a lot bigger!!
