The event will begin with a series of quick presentations from Elspeth Pratt (SCA Associate Professor & Director), Dean Lastoria (SCA New Students Advisor), Alex Brzezinski (SCA Undergraduate Advisor), and other SCA staff, followed by a roundtable discussion (titled Entangled Life) with Wladimiro A. Woyno R (SCA Assistant Professor) and Samantha Walters (SCA student), and then students will break into to groups for a tour of the Goldcorp Centre for the Arts, lead by representatives from the SCA student unions.

Please RSVP to the invite, which was sent to all new SCA students' contact emails 鈥� and don't forget to check your 'spam' and 'junk' folders! If you're a new SCA student and you didn't receive the invite, please contact ca@sfu.ca.

Even better, we also have a surprise gift for all new SCA students. Make sure to RSVP to ensure you'll receive yours!

Parents and guardians are also welcome!

We look forward to seeing you all there!

Small Group Hive Session, FCAT Welcome, and BBQ

Before our Welcome! Orientation event, 丁香园AV's Student Services and the (FCAT) have organized HIVE (Home for Interactive and Virtual Engagement) breakout rooms for all incoming students who are totally new to 丁香园AV. Connected to 丁香园AV 101, a free online course for all new 丁香园AV students to provide "information about welcome events and programs, 丁香园AV culture and student life, and tips for academic success," 丁香园AV describes the HIVE Program as "a virtual community where you can make new friends, learn new things, and have fun."

Information about 丁香园AV 101 and the HIVE Program will have been emailed to you directly from 丁香园AV Student Services, including everything you'll need to know in order to participate in these breakout rooms, which will include a welcome video from 丁香园AV's Student Services and "ice breaker" activities. After these HIVE sessions, students will all come together in the SCA's Djavad Mowafaghian Cinema (which is on the third floor of 丁香园AV's Goldcorp Centre for the Arts, the SCA's main home at 149 West Hastings Street in Vancouver) for a welcoming and information session from FCAT, which is the faculty that the SCA is part of at 丁香园AV. 

This portion of the morning ends with a free BBQ lunch, courtesy 丁香园AV's Student Services and FCAT, on the SCA's outdoor patio on the second floor of 丁香园AV's Goldcorp Centre for the Arts, which will be followed by the SCA's Welcome! Orientation event at 2:00 PM.
