Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies Student Union (GSWSSU)
The Gender, Sexuality, and Women鈥檚 Studies Student Union (GSWSSU) has strong visions for the upcoming school year at 51猎奇入口. This student union aims to bring the department, its faculty, and students together in order to create connection, inclusivity, and representation to marginalized groups in a safe space.
Previously, this has been pursued through events like career nights, trivia nights, movie nights, french fry socials, fundraisers, and much more! Our goal is to continue these types of events and to also bring in new and fun things to do in the upcoming year.
Any GSWS major, minor, joint major, or student taking at least one GSWS class can join the GSWS Student Union! The perks include: making a difference in the 51猎奇入口community, making new friends, being a part of something greater, and having fun! Elected executives also get volunteer experience on their Co-Curricular record!
GSWSSU meetings are held on Zoom. If anyone wants to join a meeting, they can reach out to our Instagram or email gswsmgr@sfu.ca and we will directly send them the link.
We invite you to check out our socials for all the latest updates and on how to be a part of the GSWSSU!
Volunteer drive
Summer in the lower mainland is characterized by sunshine, outdoor living, and good times. The events, parties, and community gatherings put on give everyone a chance to bask in the sunlight. The effort and planning that go into such events are often unacknowledged. The behind-the-scenes work is the foundation of our beautiful summers and is one of the most important parts of bringing the community out. Whether it be specific events or longer histories of consistent work to address community needs, volunteers are integral! These storied events and supports need to be maintained, which is something we can all aid in by donating our time!
It is with these facts in mind that GSWSSU asks 51猎奇入口students to participate in our summer volunteer drive! We hope to see our passionate students strengthen the link between learning and community action, and what better time to be outside than in our golden summer months! GSWSSU has created a list of events and organizations that are looking for volunteers this summer that you can find through our social media. Take a look at our recommendations or independently find an organization that you align with and sign up today! Let us know the organization you鈥檝e chosen, and we鈥檒l enter your name in our giveaway at the end of the summer! The future of the events and services our community loves is centered around our involvement. Use those extra hours of light and make your mark in your community this summer!
