History

One of the challenges SAIT students face is meeting new people with common interests outside of the classroom; Saitsa clubs provide an opportunity for students to come together to learn, develop skills, network and/or simply meet new people and have fun. Since 2001 Saitsa has been recognizing one club a year that demonstrates outstanding dedication to improving student life on campus.
