President & Board of Directors

RE: Student Space Consultations Dear undergraduate SFU students,

We are writing to inform you that the SFSS Board of Directors is seeking to collaborate with all SFU student groups to engage in a large-scale student space consultation. The goal of this consultation is to define the term “student space,” recognizing that it means different things for different students. This process will provide information on what can be done to meet student needs for these different definitions. The initial project parameters are outlined in the attached SMART template.

We encourage you or a representative from your organization to join the Student Space Working Group, which is inclusive to all students and campus groups. This working group will make decisions regarding the process that the full consultation will take and the questions that will be asked; the group will also carry out the consultation process once it is developed. In order to join the working group, please email the Chair, Arry Dhillon, at atlarge1@sfss.ca with the subject line “Student Space Working Group.” Please contact the Chair by Friday, November 18, at 4:00 PM.

As a member of the working group, you would be expected to participate in the following activities:

Brainstorm ideas for developing a consultation process
Help to develop survey questions
Attend regular meetings
Communicate the process to students
Encourage student participation in the consultation
Liaise with campus groups

It is important that all students and campus groups have the opportunity to be part of this working group and consultation process to achieve the most comprehensive results possible. We look forward to working with you to learn more about the need for student space. Thank you for your interest in this project and please distribute this document widely.

Sincerely,

Jeff McCann Arry Dhillon Marc Fontaine
