Winter 2025 valedictorians
Onisokumeni Daniel Osah
Information Systems Security – School for Advanced Digital Technology
Onisokumeni was born in Lagos, Nigeria and grew up in Canada. He started his post-secondary journey by earning a Bachelor of Science in Biology in 2022. After graduation, Onisokumeni decided a career in science wasn’t right for him. He’d always had an interest in tinkering with computers and started researching web development and UX design before starting SAIT’s Information Systems Security diploma program in 2023.
While at SAIT, Onisokumeni dove into campus culture and community — tutoring fellow students and acting as vice chair for SAIT’s IEEE student board. In the next few years, Onisokumeni plans to grow his career in cybersecurity with the goal to build momentum and pursue excellence.
Alyssa Eunice Sagum
Business Administration – School of Business
Alyssa Eunice Sagum grew up in the Philippines and worked in Dubai, UAE, before moving to Canada to pursue her dream of advancing her education. Her passion for marketing and dedication to personal growth led her to SAIT’s Business Administration diploma program, where she majored in Marketing.
While at SAIT, Alyssa fully immersed herself in campus life, taking on roles such as SAIT Global Student Ambassador, LEADS Student Leader for SAIT GEO, a Peer Mentor, and Marketing Director for Enactus SAIT. She also represented her peers as a School of Business Ambassador. Her leadership and contributions were recognized with the SAITSA Supporter Award, the Spring and Fall 2024 Mentorship Hero Awards, and the Exemplary Leadership as an International Student in Canada Award by the Legislative Assembly of Alberta.
Alyssa gained hands-on marketing experience through her program and has worked with non-profit organizations, applying her skills to drive meaningful impact. She now continues her career in the higher education sector.
For Alyssa, SAIT was more than a place to study—it was a community where she thrived, connected and discovered her purpose.
