SFU Pangrams to Test your Fonts

  1. Students throw extra BBQ party after SFU vows to replace McFogg mascot with Zajoon the chonky raccoon.
  2. Xejpah loves SFU Residences for its QUALITY meal plan, BEAUTIFUL construction views and KING-SIZE rooms.

  5. Criminology student drops out after boring professor Jacquez reveals that The X-Files and Sherlock will not be shown in class.
