Student Ambassador Program

The Student Ambassador Program is a program unique to SFU Surrey. It is an umbrella for all of the different kinds of volunteer activities that students get involved with to build our campus community. It aims to rcognize students for their participation, initiative and leadership.

Through volunteering on campus, students can make connections with other students, Faculty, and staff, bring balance to their academic life, as well as gain experiences and skills for their future careers.
