The story of

Asit Sarkar

Dr. Asit Sarkar’s passion for the University of Saskatchewan (USask) has grown over the years. He retired after 37 years of service in the Edwards School of Business as a professor, department head, associate dean, and acting dean. During his time on campus, he also served as the founding director of the USask International Office, now the International Office and a part of the International Students and Study Abroad Centre (ISSAC). After his many years on campus, Dr. Sarkar continues to be connected to the USask community as a donor, giving back to students and university that he loves.

Making a new home away from home also requires a hope for the future that you could not build in your ancestral home.
