Welcome

With such an incredible and diverse community at SFU there are so many great stories to share. Why not tell yours? SFU Stories are intended to share an SFU experience and to connect, educate and inspire the SFU Community. We welcome submissions from SFU students, staff, faculty and alumni. Similar to Instagram, they are visually based with one or muliple images or videos along with a short story.

Everyone’s got a story—what’s yours?.
