- A link to a fantastic convocation video, photo, website etc.
The advice can cover any topic you think would be relevant: Career, dreams, travel, finances, networking, anything you think a bright young graduate should hear… Please just keep it all PG.
Every tweet will earn you one entry to win a $50 gift card to the SFU bookstore.
