Undergraduate students in the Department of Food and Bioproduct Sciences have been busy raising money in support of the Ronald MacDonald House in Saskatoon. Dr. Michael Nickerson in the department agreed to have his head shaved if the student club reached their goal of $1500. After, exceeding their goal, Dr. Nickerson had his head shaved by his son, Dean Mary Buhr and student Victoria Satrio.

The Ronald MacDonald House in Saskatoon provides accommodations for families of sick children travelling to Saskatoon to receive medical treatment and has recently gone through an expansion to prepare for Saskatchewan's new children's hospital.
