SFU Vancouver Lunch 'n' learn
SFU Vancouver Lunch 'n' Learn is a series of lunch hour sessions with a dual purpose. One is showcasing how SFU Vancouver faculty members are improving lives through research, and making a positive difference in society. The other is providing an opportunity to discuss Vancouver's current issues with the help of experts.
Please see below for details on the next SFU Vancouver Lunch 'n' Learn.
In the Neighbourhood: A Community Conversation Between Local BIAs and SFU
Date: Tuesday, October 1
Time: 12:00-1:00pm
Location: Harbour Centre, 515 W. Hastings St., room 7000
Please join us for a dynamic Lunch ‘n’ Learn event where Business Improvement Association (BIA) representatives from Downtown, Gastown, and Hastings Crossing will present a brief state of their districts in collaboration with SFU. The downtown campus sits at the nexus of these neighbourhoods, and thus plays a pivotal role in community discussions around their wellbeing. This event will delve into how BIAs support their communities and address pressing issues affecting our city.
Discover the positive developments happening downtown and participate in an engaging dialogue. This one-hour session, featuring a panel discussion and audience Q&A, promises valuable insights and a call to action for faculty, leadership, and students.
This is an in-person event with lunch provided.
