CISSA (Computer Information Systems Student Association),

Recognized as one of two UFV student organizations that are leaders in our campus. The Student Union nominated them for their work hosting annual charity events including “fundraising event for video-gamers that in 2013 raised more than $2000 for Child’s Play charity”. CISSA-2014CISSA’s mission statement is to “serve students”, providing assistance to CIS students and promoting “community on campus”. President, Elizabeth Klassen and Vice-President Graham St-Eloi received the recognition on behalf of the executive members of CISSA and were quite modest about their achievements.
