Recognizing a remarkable individual for their distinguished achievements is a longstanding convocation tradition—and one Saskatchewan Polytechnic takes great pride in each year.
Honorary degree recipients often model the institution’s vision and values, and Sask Polytech notes that the contributions made by the members of this influential group help cultivate an educational environment focused on applied learning and innovative research to empower a better Saskatchewan and inspire success in every learning journey.
The recipient of the Sask Polytech, Regina campus honorary degree in Applied Studies is Jason Dittmann, president and owner of MicroAge Regina.
Born and raised in Regina, Saskatchewan, Dittmann is proud of his prairie roots. Dittmann is an alumnus of Luther College High School and completed his bachelor of administration at the University of Regina in 1999.
Dittmann began his information technology (IT) career in 2000 and is currently the president and owner of MicroAge Regina. Under his leadership, MicroAge Regina has grown into a highly respected IT services company across North America.
Dittmann and his team have achieved numerous accolades, including multiple Channel Futures MSP 501 World rankings and seven consecutive years as one of the top 50 Managed IT Providers in Canada. In 2018, MicroAge Regina was honored with a Paragon Award for Regina Business of the Year.
In addition to his professional success, Dittmann is dedicated to his community. He has volunteered with the Regina and District Chamber of Commerce for over 15 years and currently serves as the board of directors past chair.
Dittmann believes his own journey of continuous learning, through formal courses, peer mentorship and acquiring knowledge from experts, has offered pathways to success over the years.
“We are proud to recognize Jason’s exceptional professional and community accomplishments and extend our heartfelt congratulations on this well-deserved honour,” says Dr. Larry Rosia, Sask Polytech president and CEO. “Jason is an exemplary role model for IT professionals, and community leaders, and his dedication to business and industry, and to the Regina sports community is truly inspiring.
