Design and Campaign
Staying connected throughout the COVID-19 pandemic has certainly been a challenge for all of us. Students, faculty and staff at Simon Fraser University (SFU), worked tirelessly to transition online, support each other, and find a new way forward. As the first fall semester of the pandemic came to a close and the holidays approached, SFU wanted to find a safe and supportive way to celebrate and build pride and connection among the community.
