Naitsa Executive Council Member

Hello there! I’m Brayden Shopland, and I’m excited to be your Vice President Internal for the 2024/25 school year!

As a fourth-year business student in marketing, I have learned the value of fostering a community of new, different, and like-minded people around us. Over the last year with my involvement in clubs and participating in NAITSA events, I have grown to love spending my time on NAIT campus; the best thing has been meeting many incredible people. Forming new friendships has greatly contributed to my overall happiness and drive for learning, growth, and career development.

Your time here at NAIT either has or will go by quickly, especially as an actively involved student. NAITSA facilitates events and campus club organizations which are your opportunity to have some fun, meet new people, and maybe even learn a thing or two. Whether it’s a trivia night, a “how to” event, playing some board or video games, or expanding your network with professional development, you can be sure to find something you’ll enjoy, and if you can’t, then let’s work together to create it!

My role as VP Internal is to advocate for all students with the goal to improve and maintain an inclusive, fun, and unforgettable campus experience for everyone. Whether that involves activities and events, volunteer opportunities, study and relaxation spaces, or working closely with the rest of the Executive Council team, I will always have the students’ best interests in mind and at heart.

If you see me in the hallways on campus, please stop and say hi! You can always feel free to chat with me there, visit me in the NAITSA office, or send me an email at savpinternal@nait.ca. I look forward to meeting you. Till then, enjoy your time as a NAIT student!
