SFU MEDICAL SCHOOL: WHAT WE HEARD FROM YOU |
This fall, SFU began internal community engagement on a proposed medical school. Through an information session and a pair of webinars, participants were asked for their best advice for the proposed school and to identify what values that should guide the university’s planning. SFU’s Centre for Dialogue captured the wide-ranging views and ideas shared by students, faculty and staff in a themed report, What We Heard.

KEEP YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION SAFE OVER THE HOLIDAYS |
Email scams rise during the holiday season because our behaviour changes in predictable ways, such as expecting a package or receiving an e-card from a loved one. This makes us more vulnerable to scams that would be less convincing throughout the rest of the year.
Keep your holiday season merry and bright by taking some extra time to consider if those links are safe to click on. If in doubt, try using an alternate contact method such as text message or phone call to verify the email's legitimacy.
