Meet Laurel Sherriff, SAIT's Student Engagement Specialist. 👋 Laurel is one of the many dedicated team members gearing up to welcome students for the fall semester.
"When we welcome students at New Student Orientation, I know that these students are the future leaders, innovators and creators of Calgary. SAIT is their launch pad to those futures. It brings a lot of purpose to welcoming our new students to campus and making sure they start their journey on the right foot. We want to provide quality onboarding, from content to experience, so our students are starting out prepared, connected, and capable of achieving success during their time here. Doing this requires collaboration and involvement across SAIT, from the Office of the Registrar and Event Services to Academic Schools, and each team that makes up our outstanding Student Services department. We really aim to roll out the welcome wagon and show new learners that there is a whole community dedicated to their success."

After months of researching the mental health challenges international post-secondary students face when adapting to life in a new country, School of Business students Mahmud Ahmed Rudro, Anastasiia Davydova (Stacey) and Dac Tri Nguyen (Justin) were selected to represent SAIT at the Map the System Global Finals. 📚
Accompanied by instructor Jill Andres, Mahmud and Justin travelled to the University of Oxford for the prestigious competition.
"It was inspiring to meet students and researchers from around the world, exchange ideas, explore thought-provoking projects tackling complex global challenges and experience the incredible atmosphere at one of the world's most renowned universities," says Mahmud, a second-year Business Administration diploma student.
"Representing SAIT on an international stage was truly an honour and something we'll always be proud of."
Congratulations to the team! 🎉

The Crane Rodeo transformed the Point Trotter Campus into a "Yahoo!" state of mind. 🤠
Visitors enjoyed a pancake breakfast, live music, demonstrations and site tours while exploring pathways into the skilled trades.
Working with SAIT’s Women in Trades and Technology (WITT), female trade ambassadors were in attendance sharing experiences and tipping their hats to the trades.
A big thank you to everyone involved making it happen, including instructors, WITT members, sponsors and volunteers. 👏

ICYMI 📣 SAIT teamed up with the Calgary Stampede to host the inaugural Youth Agri-Food Culinary Challenge!
High school students in Grades 10 to 12 from across Alberta took over the SAIT School of Hospitality and Tourism teaching kitchens for a two-day competition in June. With guidance from culinary and agricultural mentors, participants built culinary skills, explored Alberta’s agri-food systems and put their creativity to the test through hands-on learning sessions and team-based competitions.
The winners went on to compete at the Taste of Stampede, a live culinary challenge in front of an audience at the Calgary Stampede. 🤠
Host a delicious Calgary Stampede-themed party with tasty pancakes, crêpes or fried chicken recipes courtesy of our chef instructors. 🤠🥞🍗

The pancakes get a close-up, as do Chef Josh Grieman’s crêpes, which he is seen filling with hazelnut mousse and graham cookie butter. The final closeup shows a crêpe topped with torched marshmallow. Chef Kevin Conniff’s fried chicken drumsticks are captured cooking in the oven. He also juggles three potatoes that fall into mashed potatoes in his mixing bowl.
To honour National Indigenous Peoples Day, or the next time you're passing through SAIT's Main Campus, check out the mural outside Natoysopoyiis, SAIT's Indigenous student support centre.
Main artist Kristy North Peigan, a member of the Piikani First Nation, worked with Knowledge Keeper Darren Weaslechild and art collaborator Elder Grant Little Mustache to mesh traditional knowledge with contemporary technologies. Together, they created an immersive mural featuring pictographs of land, air and water animals from Blackfoot stories illuminated from behind with LED strips. The pattern of the lights can be programmed to give the impression of motion, and the colours can be changed for different events or seasons. The bottom frame of great plains, rolling hills and mountains are traditional Blackfoot territory incorporated into the art.
Natural birch echoes and compliments campus, while the design preserves the legacy and cultural history.
“The mural is a visual representation of the SAIT community's commitment to Truth and Reconciliation and its commitment to Natoysopoyiis,” says Jennifer Russell, Ksik’ksiiniaki (White Buffalo Woman), Director of Indigenous Engagement. “It honours and celebrates Natoysopoyiis, Indigenous students at SAIT and the whole SAIT community.”
Video description: Artist Kristy North Peigan stands next to Knowledge Keeper Darren Weaslechild in front of a birchwood mural outside of SAIT’s Natoysopoyiis, which has been a fundamental part of our community for 25 years. The mural comprises engraved wood panels featuring pictographs from Blackfoot stories illuminated from behind with LED strips. The pattern of the lights can be programmed to give the impression of motion, and the colours can be changed for different events or seasons. The pictographs represent a woman at the top-right of the mural looking over a group of regional mammals: a bison, beaver, moose, deer, coyote, bear and eagle.
