University of Saskatchewan graduate and honorary degree recipient Dr. Frederick Mulder (BA’64, LLD’17, PhD), who is originally from the small community of Eston, Sask., is known as one of the world’s foremost dealers in the prints of Pablo Picasso and other Modern masters, and his clients have included many of the world’s major museums. Dr. Mulder has donated three more Picasso prints to USask, enhancing the collection of six Picasso linocuts that he gave to his alma mater back in 2012. In this video, Dr. Mulder speaks to USask President Peter Stoicheff about his generous gift and his connections to USask.
USask graduates Barb Stefanyshyn-Cote (BSA’87, MSc’94) and John Cote (BSA’86) are the entrepreneurs behind Black Fox Farm and Distillery, located on Valley Road about five kilometres outside Saskatoon. Their unique method of producing whisky and gin is attracting international acclaim, and their premium spirits can be found around the world, including in China, Denmark, Germany, the U.K., and the United Arab Emirates.
