Our increasingly diverse student population presents an enormous opportunity.
By exposing all students to different perspectives, languages and cultures, we empower them to become global citizens, ready to tackle the challenges of the interconnected world.
Enhancing student experiences
We’re proud to introduce our 2023 – 2028 Intercultural Support Strategy — an initiative aimed at providing an enriched and cohesive intercultural student experience.
The journey of international and newcomer students is unique. The Intercultural Support Strategy focuses on meeting their personal, academic and employment needs, while building intercultural competence across the entire institution.

Our Organization
Oki, Âba wathtech, Danit'ada, Tawnshi, Hello.
SAIT is located on the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of Treaty 7 which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Îyârhe Nakoda of Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney.
We are situated in an area the Blackfoot tribes traditionally called Moh’kinsstis, where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. We now call it the city of Calgary, which is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta.
