Hello first-year undergraduate students!

Welcome to the SFU Faculty of Health Sciences!

The Health Sciences Undergraduate Student Union (HSUSU) acknowledges that many of the incoming students joining the Faculty of Health Sciences come from a high school setting. We know that it can be difficult transitioning from high school to university. Thus, HSUSU offers opportunities for first-year undergraduate health sciences students to help ease them into university smoothly. Newly admitted health sciences (HSCI) students may learn and grow personally and professionally, become familiar with their program, gain insight from fellow health science students, and more by taking advantage of the resources provided by HSUSU.
