Dress in Style with a SAFA T-shirt

October 8th saw over 150 members attend our Welcome Back Rally.  Along with engaging conversations and good food, members also picked up the new SAFA Raven t-shirt.  If you were unable to attend, please pick up your t-shirt in the next 2 weeks from the SAFA Office (Senator Burns, NN201) on Monday-Thursday 9am-4pm or Friday 9am-12pm.  You can also contact your SAFA Representative if you have questions about the shirts. 

The t-shirt design is the brainchild of our SAFA Vice President, Amir Fard.  He explains the choice of a raven to represent our members: The raven was chosen as the symbol for SAFA because of its characteristics which align with the values of the polytechnic faculty:

  • Intelligence: Ravens are among the most intelligent of birds, reflecting our members’ commitment to knowledge and lifelong learning.
  • Adaptability: Thriving in diverse environments, the raven represents our ability to respond dynamically to the evolving educational landscape.
  • Resourcefulness: Like the raven, which uses tools and solves problems, SAFA champions practical, innovative approaches to challenges.
  • Communication: Ravens are master communicators, symbolizing SAFA’s commitment to transparent, effective information sharing with members.
  • Collaboration: These social birds thrive through teamwork, much like our focus on collaboration and solidarity among members.
