Science Social DAY 1: Featuring UFV’s Biology and Chemistry Student Association & the School of Land Use and Environmental Change Student Association

Welcome to DAY 1 of our Science Social Event!

Don’t forget to enter our daily draws this week by answering one of the questions below in the comment section. *See below for full details.

Now, go grab a beverage and a snack and let’s get this party started!

We would like to introduce our first two science student groups of the week. Please note, they are not in any particular order throughout the week.

The Biology and Chemistry Student Association (BCSA) is made up of students who are currently taking a biology or chemistry course at UFV. The main purpose of the BCSA is to assist students studying the scientific subjects of Biology and Chemistry at UFV. They encourage the participation of biology and chemistry students in campus events put on by Student Life and other associations and clubs. They maintain an open, non-intimidating, environment in which students can feel at home in the Faculty of Science. The BCSA Executive Team plans and holds many events throughout the year.

The School of Land Use and Environmental Change Student Association (SLUECSA) was founded in 1995 to provide both an information academic and social environment to geography students.

Since then, SLUECSA has sponsored many events, including a ski trip to Manning Park, paintball, hikes to Lightening Lakes and Teapot Hill, white water rafting, a skating party, student-faculty Christmas socials, student-faculty bowling nights, and Halloween corn maze visits. Other activities have included attending guest lectures at Lower Mainland universities, as well as pub and movie nights.

Joining SLUECSA provides a great opportunity for students to get involved in departmental life, and meet other students who share similar interests in a casual setting.
