💻 Crack the code in our escape room

October is Cybersecurity Month — a designated time to promote online safety and raise awareness about cyber threats and best practices.

To kick things off, on Thursday, Oct. 2, 9 and 23, you're invited to test your skills in SAIT's own escape room. There's a phishing attack underway, and only you and your team of cyber heroes can crack the code before it's too late!

Just for participating, you'll win a cybersecurity prize pack. The top-scoring teams from each week will also win a SAIT gift card.

Registration is required, so assemble a team of two to four of your best escape artists and sign up today.

📝 Writing and presentation skills — learn from a peer

Their peer writing specialist — a SAIT student too! — is knowledgeable in report writing, essay writing, planning assignments and presentation skills.

Writing and presentation drop-in sessions

  • Stop by MC209 (Stan Grad Centre) from noon to 2 pm on any Thursday from Oct. 16 until Dec. 4. You'll get a 15-minute consultation with a peer mentor on anything from report and essay writing to citations.

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.
