The Saskatoon StarPhoenix recently interviewed Dr Vince Bruni-Bossio, who will begin in his role as president of the University of Saskatchewan in January. When asked about the challenges facing USask, Bruni-Bossio pointed to both the financial realities facing universities and the broader demand from the public for universities to demonstrate their value. On this latter point, he emphasized the importance of the university’s relationships with communities, industries, and government across Saskatchewan. “I definitely believe we’re going to be in a positive space and we’ll get through the challenging times the university is going through,” said Bruni-Bossio.
