Salam!

We would like to thank you for your interest in SSA Executive Team for the 2020/2021 academic year. Since our SFSS recognition in early 2019, our club has seen tremendous growth and success in uniting Somali students together on campus, as well as networking with the diaspora community in the lower mainland. In the spirit of pan-Africanism, the SSA also aims to continue collaborating with other African and Caribbean descent clubs such as SFU Students of Caribbean and African Ancestry (SOCA), SFU Nigerian Students Association (NSA), and the SFU African Students Association (ASA).
