Student spaces

Can SFU students look forward to more student-friendly spaces? The Board will be discussing in the near future whether it should be the SFSS’ responsibility to invest in and fund student space or if instead they should motivate the university to invest in student spaces.

“[We need to] decide what kind of a board are we going to be,” said Jade K. Anderson, Faculty Representative (Sciences). The Board has tabled the discussion on student spaces for this week, but will be addressing the topic in the near future.

Welcome back party confirmed

After discussion last week, the Board has approved a budget for the welcome-back event this fall. The motion, which passed unanimously, increased the line item “Special / Large-scale Projects” by $63,000. The budget has been approved ahead of schedule, giving the board more time to organize the large event.

Now that a budget has been approved, decisions can be made such as who might perform during the afternoon concert — Board is hoping to have four different artists — and what might an after-party at the Highland Pub look like.
