Muhammad Nael
Hi, Nael here, let's cut to the chase shall we?I am running for Board Of Directors because, being a keen observer, I've learned that without voicing the student body, there is no real progression. Having an unbiased persona deems me fit for the position.
Moreover, having led my former athletics team to glory as winning captain has instilled in me the trait of adaptation. Knowing what the situation needs. What SAIT is in dire need of right now, is change.
Once elected I intend to run a transparent and cohesive tenure. Expect unprecedented Student-to-Director Cooperation. Attention will be given to the bits of campus you see and more. Actually functional washroom sinks. More. Quiet. Study. Spaces. For all of the above, however, you know who to vote for. Thank you.

In this election, I aim to assist as many students as possible by being part of the Board of Directors, continuing with the mission of the association. I hope we can meet, and I'd appreciate your support. Thank you!

As the founder and president of Women in Business, I have been working hard to foster an inclusive environment that champions success. But I want to do more for the SAIT community. My name is Silve Rahman, and I'm running for the SAITSA BOD because your vision is our mission.

•More career fairs: Enables us to gain exposure, build networks, and thrive in the competitive job market.
