President's Student Leadership Award

SAIT is made up of shapers, makers and originals. You can see it in our classrooms and now, more than ever, see it as students engage online. Our students graduate being "career ready" — we expect a lot of them and covet those who help their classmates excel. The President's Student Leadership Group/Club Award recognizes a student group that has demonstrated innovation and initiative in creating opportunities/advancements for SAIT, fellow students, industry and the community.  Submissions for this award could include examples of the following:

• Meaningful collaboration and/or connection with industry
• Projects to improve campus life for students
• Projects, activities or volunteer efforts that strengthen SAIT's reputation in the community

Nominations for the 2023 President's Student Leadership Award are now closed.
