Watch

An exhibition at Remai Modern is offering visitors an inside look at a working print studio by showcasing the knowledge and skills of University of Saskatchewan graduate Jillian Ross (BFA’02), a Saskatoon-based printmaker and longtime collaborator of renowned South African artist William Kentridge.

Dr. Colleen Dell (PhD), a sociology professor in USask’s College of Arts and Science and the university’s Centennial Enhancement Chair in One Health and Wellness, said the PAWS Your Stress therapy dogs and handlers have visited with more than 30,000 USask students in the past decade. USask graduate Doreen Stumborg (BA’09, MFA’20) and her dog, Laddie, have been a consistent part of many of the visits since becoming a therapy dog team in 2017. In this video, Doreen and Colleen (with her dog, E-Jay) speak about the PAWS Your Stress program and the difference that therapy dog visits can make.
