ACIFA Conference 2015
The 2015 Annual ACIFA Conference was held at the Chateau Lake Louise Hotel, May 24- 26.
Members from the 15 Alberta Post Secondary Colleges were in attendance. Instructors and Facilitators from a broad spectrum of disciplines participated in a variety of information sessions and educational workshops. These sessions provided an ideal opportunity for teachers and educators to enjoy many new and inspirational ideas demonstrated by the Conference participants.
SAIT Polytechnic was honored to have several SAFA members partake in a selection of workshops. A special congratulation to Steve Janz and Cynthia Maier (School of Business) for being the recipients of the ACIFA 2014 Scholarship of Teaching and Learning award.
It was also a wonderful opportunity to meet and discuss ‘new’ and ‘interesting’ ideas with educators from the participating Colleges. Moreover, it gave SAIT Instructors and Facilitators the chance to meet and talk with individuals from their own Colleges.
Service, accommodation and food was well received and hopefully everyone enjoyed the Fairmont’s hospitality. The names of the instructional sessions presented by SAIT’s staff are attached. Please take the opportunity to congratulate and thank those individuals for ‘Showcasing’ SAIT as a leader in educational initiatives.
My thanks to everyone that attended the Conference. Make a note in your calendar for the 2016 Conference which will be held in Jasper Park Lodge, this you will not want to miss.
SAFA President: James McWilliams.
