Who is the International Studies Student Association?
If you are a student majoring, minoring, getting a certificate, or taking 1 class in IS...YOU are part of the Internatioanl Studies Student Association (ISSA)! Run by an enthusiastic exec team, the ISSA is a student union that promotes SFU's School for International Studies through a variety of events each semester.
The ISSA vision is to promote engagement among IS students through our academic and social events, and reach out to IS students to encourage participation in the ISSA and IS related events.
