University life isn’t just about classes and studying, in the Faculty of Applied Sciences we provide a large and varied programme of extracurricular activities for our students.
Getting involved not only allows students to develop new skills, but it also can provide ways to gain greater clarity about interests and career goals. Studies have shown that fostering connections to others on campus can improve academic outcomes, in addition to opening up doors for your career.
The TechConnect program is designed for first-year students who are new to SFU. Throughout the term, students attend a series of workshops which are intended to help make new friendships as well as equip students with the tools they need to thrive in their program.
