The campaign closed on March 31! Thank you for sending your ShoutOuts. We are excited to see you back in February 2023 for more Family Campaign cheer.

 

ShoutOuts

Do you want to say thank you to someone at SAIT for going that extra mile? Impressed by a colleague's hard work, dedication and commitment? Inspired by your colleague's ability to create an equitable, diverse and inclusive environment? Then say so and support SAIT students at the same time!

The ShoutOut program allows staff and faculty to celebrate their co-workers' hard work with a donation.This year, the iconic ShoutOuts are back and we introduce a special version of the ShoutOuts to celebrate those in our SAIT community who model inclusivity in action to ensure everyone feels welcome, respected and empowered to succeed. A minimum $5 donation is required. The proceeds from the Inclusivity ShoutOuts will go into the Inclusion Matters Fund, and other gifts go directly to a student award solely funded through the Shout Out program.

Colleagues and co-workers who are honoured through the program will be inducted onto the ShoutOut Honour Roll which will be listed on SAITNow. The honouree will also receive a personalized e-certificate describing why they are being honoured. To learn more about the program, check out our frequently asked questions below.

Inclusion Matters ShoutOut

New this year, recognize someone helping to make SAIT more inclusive by sending them an Inclusion Matters Shout Out. Proceeds will support the Inclusion Matters fund, which supports the implementation of SAIT’s Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy

Example text:
“Thank you for the work you do to ensure all students feel they are a part of the SAIT community.”
“Your involvement in Pride at SAIT helps make our campus a brighter place — you’re the best!” 
“I appreciate you bringing up digital accessibility at our last team meeting.” 
“Thank you for the shared learning experiences throughout Black History Month.”


 Inclusion Matters ShoutOut

Regular (traditional) ShoutOut

One ShoutOut is $5 and Five ShoutOuts are $20.
There is the regular ShoutOut which supports the Family Campaign Peer Recognition Award and then there is the Inclusivity version of ShoutOuts which will support the Inclusion Matters Fund.  

 
No. There is a limit on how many ShoutOuts you can send at a time (10 on the webpage) but you can send a spreadsheet with 10+ ShoutOuts to shaunda.walsh@sait.ca.

Unfortunately not. But if you want to send the same ShoutOut to a group of people, please connect with Shaunda at shaunda.walsh@sait.ca to provide the message and arrange for a ShoutOut. Because a ShoutOut is meant for one person only, a rate of $5 per group member applies.
The proceeds from the Inclusivity ShoutOuts will go into the Inclusion Matters Fund, and the gifts from regulat ShoutOuts go directly to a student award solely funded through the Shout Out program, to the SAIT Family Campaign Peer Assistance Award. This $1,000 award is open to first-year students entering any degree, diploma or certificate program at SAIT. Preference is given to a student whose parent currently works at SAIT. Your participation in this initiative gives you the opportunity to thank your co-workers and support your peers who have children attending SAIT.
You can send a ShoutOut starting February 22nd, 2022.  The last day to send a ShoutOut will be March 31st, 2022.
