Bangund, Patrick earn USask teaching awards
University of Saskatchewan College of Law (USask Law) faculty members Clayton Bangsund and Jamesy Patrick will be honoured at the 2026 University of Saskatchewan Staff and Faculty Awards event on June 17.
Clayton Bangsund is the 2026 recipient of the Provost’s College Award for Outstanding Teaching, which recognizes an educator’s dedication, creativity and impact.
“Most of my students become practising lawyers who serve clients of all sorts including individuals, corporations, and governments. I hope that students emerge from my classroom with foundational knowledge of the law along with a pragmatic mindset that enables them to identify and effectively resolve problems in their future clients’ best interests.”
Jamesy Patrick is receiving the 2026 Publicly Engaged Scholarship Team Award for research exploring critical legal and policy issues affecting child welfare systems in First Nations communities.
"We have a major systemic over-representation of Indigenous youth and children in care . . . and I saw there’s a gap in research in this area, and there’s a gap in resources. For me, it’s all about the kids and the future of the province and the country as we face the realities of reconciliation.”
USask Law congratulates Clayton and Jamesy for their outstanding contributions to USask Law and for the impact their work has far beyond our college.
