Mission Statement
Our mission statement is comprised of two elements. The first element is the development of business professionals. We honour the School’s history of mentoring generations of business professionals by sharing research, knowledge, and experience.
The second element is our contribution to nation-building. We are deliberate in using the term “nations.” A nation is a community of people who have things in common, without necessarily having any type of border. It also encompasses people who share a language, culture, history, community or heritage.
We pluralize “nations” to emphasize the reaffirmation that we are a part of Treaty 6 territory and homeland of the Métis. We believe in a commitment to and relationship with the Indigenous peoples and communities of our
region and country.
At Edwards, a nation-builder is someone who creates community, sees unity in diversity, and ensures access to opportunity.

K. W. Nasser
Professor Emeritus Karim (Kay) Nasser and his family have a long-standing relationship with the University of Saskatchewan through financial gifts to support and continue to improve the experience of students. This includes the building that houses Edwards School of Business K. W. Nasser Center, allowing the University of Saskatchewan to secure its presence in downtown Saskatoon. September 24, 2009 marked the grand opening of the K. W. Nasser Center bridging a gap connecting the business school to the business community.
“From the beginning of my days as a student at the University of Saskatchewan, I knew that I wanted to give back to the U of S as it made a big difference in my life,” said Nasser. “If not for financial help, I would not have been able to get to university myself, so the main interest of my family is students who need financial assistance. We would like all students who want to come to this university be able to.”
Thanks to the Nasser Family. For the faculty, staff, students, and business community members who will have the opportunity to teach, learn, collaborate and thrive in this wonderful facility, we sincerely thank the Nasser Family. Your generosity and support for business education at the University of Saskatchewan has given us the opportunity to bridge town and gown.
