Revival of SFU Queer Graduate, Faculty and Staff Network (QGFSN)
The QGFSN launched in 2014 under the leadership of three graduate students who sought to build community between graduate students, staff, and faculty at SFU, noticing that these demographics often didn鈥檛 participate in Out on Campus events. The network operated with collaboration from Out on Campus and the Graduate Student Society, and held regular events including workshops and pub nights. Due to funding challenges, the network has not held events since 2017, but still maintains a listserv. SFU鈥檚 participation in this year鈥檚 Pride Parade is an excellent opportunity to revive this network and see the community grow. To join:
- Go to maillist.sfu.ca and log in with your SFU credentials.
- In the 鈥淕o to list鈥� field, type in 鈥渜ueer-grad-fac-staff鈥� then click 鈥済o鈥�
- Click 鈥渏oin鈥� to request membership. The moderator will review your request shortly.
The listserv is currently moderated by Leah Wiener, queer staff member in student services. Anyone with questions about the listserv or network is welcome to contact Leah at queer-gfs-contact@sfu.ca.
