We urge you to come out in support of Out on Campus. Budget cuts within the SFSS have meant that the currently vacant email and web assistant position for Out on Campus is under threat. This is a vital position for the continued work of the collective.

The SFSS Board of Directors are meeting Wednesday, December 2 at 5:30. There is a motion to strike a hiring committee to fill this vacant position. Strong visible support would help let them know that there is across campus support for this motion which would ensure the maintenance of the position. Meet in front of the SFSS Organizing Office (MBC 2234).

Out on Campus is Simon Fraser University’s centre for lesbian, gay, transgendered and bisexual people and their allies. Throughout the semester we offer a wide range of events and activities, ranging from socials to workshops to discussion groups. We also offer references to counselling and support for students, staff and faculty of Simon Fraser.
