Chancellor Emerita Dr. Vera Pezer (BA’62, MA’64, PhD’77) has written a new book, Saskatchewan Superwomen. The book features a sample of the accomplished women in the province—both past and present—who have been leaders in a wide variety of fields, often overcoming obstacles on their paths to success. Dr. Pezer is herself a “superwoman” of Saskatchewan, having made significant contributions to the University of Saskatchewan, to athletics, and to the wider community.
Dr. Azy Behnam is a veterinarian who graduated from USask’s Western College of Veterinary Medicine (WCVM) in 2023. In 2020, Behnam was part of a student group that founded WCVM DIVERSE (Diversity and Inclusivity in the Veterinary Environment: Respect, Solidarity and Empowerment), a club that provides a safe space for racialized and 2SLGBTQIA+ students and allies. Since graduating, she has established a veterinary scholarship that pays tribute to her parents’ selflessness in immigrating with their family to Canada. The Giti Golmohammadi Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Award, named after Behnam’s mother, supports a student whose path to veterinary medicine has involved the challenges of immigration.
