The Summer 2013 term is just around the corner…. time for another Big International Quiz (Big IQ)!
The contest runs in the first week of classes, from Monday May 6th to Friday, May 10th. Each day, a trivia question will be posted at SFU International Services for Students on Facebook, giving all SFU students the chance to win!
A big thank you to all who participated in our Where Do You Want To Go? contest. This was our tightest race yet, with three destinations vying for the top spots. We’ve counted the votes, and the top two destinations voted for our Summer 2013 events are…
… Capilano Suspension Bridge and White Rock!
Further details about the day-trips will be posted on the ISS Events website, and also announced via our Friday newsletter, so stay tuned!
