The fall season can feel a bit lonely as the gloomy weather takes over. However, you can rest assured, as SFU Burnaby has several events planned for the upcoming month — grab your friends or head on over to make some new ones!
SFSS Out on Campus Movie Nights
Out on Campus Lounge, SUB 2230 (SFU Burnaby)
Every Tuesday, 4:30 p.m.–7:00 p.m.
Out on Campus (OOC) “is a department of the SFU Student Society dedicated to supporting 2SLGBTQIA+ students and allies.” This recurring event takes place every Tuesday evening in the OOC Lounge, where students are welcome to watch a fun movie or TV show and meet other community members.
SFU Fall Poetry Salon
Department of English, AQ 6093 (SFU Burnaby)
Friday, November 15, 3:30 p.m.–4:30 p.m.
Are you a literary enthusiast or a poet at heart? If so, you might like to attend the SFU Fall Poetry Salon, where SFU English alum Saba Pakdel will be doing a reading from her recently launched poetry chapbook, Un-Composed. There’s no need to RSVP; come spend an evening discussing poetry over light refreshments in the English department.
Meet, Greet, & Eat — Gratitude Creation
Global Student Centre, AQ 2013 (SFU Burnaby)
Thursday, November 21, 12:30 p.m.–2:00 p.m.
If you’re looking to expand your horizons and meet new people during mid-class breaks, then you will enjoy this series hosted by the Global Student Centre and Creative Collective. Bring your lunch and make new friendships by partaking in the “crafts and games” provided. This upcoming theme, “Gratitude Creation,” is curated to help you practise mindfulness and gratitude in creative ways.
Embark Sustainability Community Kitchen
SUB Community Kitchen, room #2125 (SFU Burnaby)
Wednesday, November 27, 5:30 p.m.–9:30 p.m.
As students, it can sometimes be difficult affording the type of food our bodies crave. You may even find yourself missing the feeling of a home-cooked meal. That’s why you should check out Embark Sustainability’s Community Kitchen! They offer a space for students to explore their culinary ambitions by cooking a “vegetarian or plant-based meal.” Their aim is to provide food to the community at no cost, and this event is just one of their many initiatives towards that goal.
