The HIVE Program
The HIVE (Home for Interactive and Virtual Engagement) Program is a virtual community where you can make new friends, learn new things, and have fun. It’s important that we help set you up from the start to be successful in your first term, and first year at SFU!
HIVE is your first step towards an epic educational journey. We know how exciting (and nerve-wracking) it is to start something new, so we’re here to help make the experience enjoyable and interesting. We care about you and have designed this programming so you can have a smooth transition and a great experience at SFU.
Launch date:
In early December, the HIVEs start their mission of connecting you with other students!
How to join:
You will receive your invitation to join your HIVE and SFU 101 via email in early December, so stay tuned!
WHO IS IT FOR?
All new undergraduate students! The HIVE Program will place you in a small group with other new students from the same Faculty.
WHY PARTICIPATE?
- It’s an awesome way to find your people and connect to the SFU community
- You’ll get to meet HIVE Leaders who were once in the same shoes as you, who will share tips, stories and their experiences
- It’s a safe and welcoming place to get to know new students before you start classes
HOW DO I JOIN?
In your SFU 101 course, you will be automatically assigned a specific HIVE group tailored just for you. On November 27, you will receive an email to your SFU email address with all the details on how to access the course and meet your HIVE.
WHEN CAN I JOIN?
SFU 101 launches and the HIVEs start their mission of connecting you with other students on November 27!
HOW CAN I GET THE MOST OUT OF THE HIVE PROGRAM?
It’s simple! Join SFU 101 as soon as you get your invite, and participate in the discussions within your HIVE. By being part of an ongoing conversation, you’ll engage with other new students and connect with HIVE Leaders.
You should also attend the virtual events hosted within your HIVE. Your HIVE Leaders will host various milestone events leading up to and in your first few weeks at SFU. These are great opportunities to meet your peers, make new friends, and learn about university and campus resources.
