Please read the following important message from SFU's President, Joy Johnson:

Yesterday, we learned with regret that @gabeliosis resigned his position as SFSS president. He was a passionate advocate for SFU's undergraduates and a good ally to the GSS. We will of course continue working with SFSS on matters of mutual interests.

After 10 weeks, the strike is over! We are thrilled to announce that we have reached a tentative agreement with @columbia. This is a historic moment for labor in higher ed, and it is just the beginning. We look forward to getting back to work and compensation for our back work.

FYI: the GSS lounge and offices remain closed until at least until January 31st 2022. We will provide updates when we have them. Thank you for your patience. You can access our services at: sfugradsociety.ca and reach out at [email protected]
