Here Comes the Sun!

May 29, 2009

Hello Everyone,

I’m back from holidays and excited for the beginning of the summer recruitment season. We have a lot of exciting events planned throughout Calgary. When you see the SAIT logo at a summer event, make sure you stop by to talk to Michelle or myself. Not only do we have great information about SAIT to share, but also some pretty sweet Frisbees (yep, they’re free)!

This Sunday you can find us at the
Lilac Festival in Mission. We’ll be on-site from 10:00am-6:00pm. Hopefully with this terrific weather you’ll have time to check out this exciting event.

Some other events you’ll find us at this summer include:

Sun and Salsa Festival (July 19)
Folk Music Festival (July 25 & 26)
Marda Gras Festival (August 9)
Raggae Festival (August 15)
Expo Latino (August 28, 29 & 30)

I hope you all have a great weekend! Enjoy the weather everyone.

Peace, Jason

Skill Testing Questions

Looks like I have been away from this Blog for quite some time now. It has gotten pretty busy over the past few months with some staff changes and the excitement of the Graduation Ceremonies.


The grad ceremonies are a great way for the students to say “hey, look what I accomplished” and “thanks to all the family and friends who supported me!”

The ceremonies are split over 2 days with each department split into a specific ceremony:

June 1st, 2009

2pm

School of Health and Public Safety
School of Information and Communications Technologies
School of Manufacturing and Automation

June 2nd, 2009

9am

School of Business
School of Hospitality and Tourism
School of Transportation

2pm

School of Construction
MacPhail School of Energy


If you are a graduate and still wish to register to attend then please go to mysait.ca and CONGRATULATIONS!

Besides the graduation preparations I had the privilege of attending the 2009 Provincial Skills Competition in Edmonton this past week. It was not only a pleasure being able to chat with people who found the trade/technologies fascinating and were interested in possibly attending SAIT but it was also exciting to be able to watch our SAIT students in action.




Even more exciting is that Calgary will be hosting the 40th WorldSkills Competition from September 1-7th, 2009. For more information on the registrants, schedule and so much more please check out the WorldSkills 2009 website.


Check in next week for my next post, it is going to be a good one!

Take a Spin Around our Campus

Campus Tours are a great way to confirm your big decision to attend a post-secondary! Even if you’re just interested in learning a little more about SAIT Polytechnic, tours can help you find out about admissions, students services and even fitness facilities and the best place to eat on campus. SAIT has a terrific campus, and we’d love to show it to you.

The chance to visit campus is an important part of the post-secondary decision process. If you leave us feeling excited and energized, SAIT may be the right place for you! Let us help you figure it out before, you spend all that time and money.

Whether as a group, or an individual, we would be happy to show you around. (Parents are always welcome!) All we require is at least one week’s notice to book a tour. If you provide us with a couple dates and times that work for you, we will do our best to find a time to meet with you.

To schedule your tour, please contact recruitment@sait.ca. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Peace, Jason
