Leslie-Ann Schlosser

Connector, Journalist, Marketer, Writer/Editor

I am an award-winning communicator who leads a talented team of professionals in the Research Profile and Impact unit of USask’s Office of the Vice President Research. Our goal is to effectively communicate and celebrate the University of Saskatchewan's research, scholarly and artistic work. Prior to that, I was the editor of USask’s alumni magazine Green & White, where I penned some of my favourite stories about alumni who have gone on to be formidable changemakers in their communities. I also worked at SaskPower, Saskatchewan's energy crown corporation, as a communication consultant specializing in internal communication and employee engagement. I'm trained as a journalist and worked at CBC Saskatchewan for a stint of time before Tik Tok was a thing. As a former journalist, I'm always a sucker for a good story and I've been able to harness this love into my current work at USask. I love being able to share USask’s ground-breaking research stories with the world. I believe every one has a story to share.

I was honoured to be the licensee and host of TEDxUniversityofSaskatchewan in 2024. I worked with the most talented planning committee and speaker line up, made long-lasting relationships, and discovered a true passion for storytelling training.
