Global Connections Program
Start or continue your journey at SFU by building a supportive community around you.
As part of the Global Community at SFU initiative, the Global Connections Program is led by a team of dedicated student staff and volunteers, known as Community Leaders. This is a peer-support program designed to help new students from international pathways including those who transfer from other Canadian post-secondary institutions. This program provides the opportunity to learn about the culture of SFU while making new friends and exploring what the community has to offer.
Connecting SFU students across the globe during the pandemic.
We understand that you may or may not be physically in British Columbia during the Fall 2020 term. Connecting with your peers and having a supportive community around you will be more important than ever before. To adapt to the current situation, the program will be offered virtually so you can join from anywhere in the world.
What does the program offer?
Social Connection
Members and Community Leaders create a meaningful connection through one-on-one mentorship and group socials which include fun games and activities.
Intercultural Learning
The program will provide opportunities for students from different pathways to share and learn about other cultures from each other.
Transition Support to SFU
The Global Connections Program offers informative sessions about the topics that will help our members beyond their academic study.
