"I am grateful to the Ministry of Advanced Education for administering these awards, which help bring attention to the importance of expert educators in the field of post-secondary education," Lieutenant Governor Russ Mirasty said.

"I extend my sincere thanks and congratulations to the exceptional educators and leaders being recognized today for their commitment to student success," Advanced Education Minister Ken Cheveldayoff said. "We should all be proud of the world class post-secondary sector in Saskatchewan and a large part of that is due to the academic faculty and staff who support our students and prepare them for rewarding careers in our province."
