"Growing the Next Generation of Entrepreneurs"

The W. Brett Wilson Centre for Entrepreneurial Excellence (Wilson Centre) was established in 2007 and made possible through the generous donation by philanthropist, U of S Alumni and businessman W. Brett Wilson.

The Wilson Centre provides University of Saskatchewan students with the applicable training, networks and tools they need to start a business, fosters connections and mentorship between students and the business community, and collaborates with other organizations to leverage and promote entrepreneurship throughout the community and the province.
