This past week has been pretty quiet for us as we have been working feverishly on some new ideas to get out in the community this summer. Some of the exciting venues so far include the Red Deer Westerner Days, Kensington's Sun and Salsa Festival, the Calgary Folk Music Festival and Marda Gras in Marda Loop. See the links to the right for more information.
We are excited to start a new venture with SUTIL (Saskatchewan Universities and Technical Institution Liaisons) in which we will have the opportunity to travel to Saskatchewan for some of the scheduled events at the high schools to meet students and spread the word about SAIT.

Happy Graduation!
It is during this time of year where everyone’s hard work and dedication finally pays off. Last week was SAIT’s Graduation with over 1,100 graduates participating in three ceremonies. It was sure an exciting time and honour to participate in such a prestigious event.
These graduates have an exciting future with SAIT graduate employment statistic of 97%
Congratulations Graduates!
We have some exciting events planned for this summer including the Sun and Salsa Festival on Sunday July 20th from 11am-5pm. If you are in the area you should come and visit us!

New Faces
I’d like to begin by introducing myself as the newest member to re-join the Customer Services Team at SAIT. My name is Michelle Ashmore and I have been in this role since May 8, 2008. I previously worked at SAIT for 16 years but most recently worked in a similar role at another institution. I am excited to be back and working with Allison, Kyla and Carrie.
One of my first events back was an exciting one. I was helping out many of SAIT’s faculty and staff cover the exhibit booth at the Skills Canada – Provincial Competition at Stampede Park on May 22 and 23rd. Both Allison and I had the pleasure of speaking with the many Junior High and High School students who came through the event and were interested in the programs that SAIT has to offer.
SAIT students who competed in Provincials proved strong. Taking 1st and second place in Baking; 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in Culinary Arts; 1st place in Graphic Design; 1st place in IT Network Support; The Mechatronics teams took 1st and 2nd place and Restaurant Service taking 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.
Over the weekend, Allison and I set up a booth at Calgary’s Lilac Festival on May 25. The weekend was a dreary one as it was pretty wet with rain but Calgarians still came out in full force to enjoy the many artisans, food tents and entertainment kiosks set up along 4th Street. Despite the weather, we had many inquires about SAIT services and programs. Attending events such as this is a new initiative that we are taking in order to reach as many prospective students as possible and we are excited that our first attempt was well received. Watch for us at the many different festivals that our city has to offer!

Monday May 26th came quickly but with all the excitement of the Canada Skills Competition, we really didn’t notice that we didn’t get much of a weekend. The Canada Skills Competition ran May 26th and 27th and brought together the winners of the Provincial Competitions. There were competitors from all over Canada competing at Stampede Park with SAIT bring ranked number 2 in Mechatronics and number 4 in Restaurant Service. Congratulations to all SAIT’s students who competed over the 4 days and congratulations to the faculty and staff who were an integral part of SAIT’s success.
