A quarter million graduates and counting
Equipped with a world-class applied education and the resilience needed to earn a credential during a worldwide pandemic, graduands will tune in to SAIT’s Fall 2020 Virtual Convocation Ceremony on Wednesday, Nov. 4 to celebrate their achievements. These moments are years in the making.
By the time the ceremony concludes, SAIT’s newest graduates will be part of another milestone — they’ll join an alumni family now 250,000 strong.
To reach a quarter million grads is no small feat — in fact, we're only the second polytechnic in Canada to do it. It’s the result of more than 100 years of industry experts empowering lifelong learners. It’s the culmination of countless lectures, assignments and late-night study sessions. And, it’s the product of an institution committed to student success and backed by community.
Some words of wisdom from the family
SAIT graduates can be found in every facet of society, in every corner of the world. They are leaders in creating what’s next — and they’re just the kind of people you might ask for a little advice.
Graduands, as you earn your credential and pursue the future you’ve worked towards, be inspired by these words of wisdom from your alumni family:

So, graduating class of 2020 — here’s to you, those who came before you and those who will follow. Welcome to the SAIT Alumni Family. We can’t wait to see where your education will take you.
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.
