Welcome to SFU Student Groups of the Rotunda!
What are the SFU Student Groups of the Rotunda?
We are student-run organizations who can help you get involved in the campus community in a meaningful way. We all operate independently, although some of us are funded by the Simon Fraser Student Society, and are technically part of it. Others are funded directly by SFU students through small fee levies and are incorporated as independent non-profit societies.
As well as our different focuses, we all offer volunteer and job training opportunities, skills and trailing, social space and a way for you to plug into life on the SFU campus and beyond.
Check out the groups that interest you and find out what we have to offer and how you can get involved.
Make your university experience the best it can be, take part in the SFU community: gain skills, find resources and meet great people!
Where are these groups located?
We're located in "the Rotunda", which is officially called the Transportation Centre. Hence all our addresses begin with a "TC". We're right above the first bus loop as you enter the campus.

CJSF 90.1 fm CJSF is a non-profit, volunteer-run, SFU campus and community radio station situated right on top of Burnaby Mountain. Our mandate is to provide diverse, high-quality radio programming, the kind of programming mainstream media often ignores. You can say our musical tastes are eclectic--hip-hop, reggae, thrash metal, electronica, 1960's surfer rock, and Portuguese folk music are just some of the sounds you'd find in our jukebox. CJSF also has an extraordinary spoken-word department that reports on everything from community arts, to social justice, to mental health and wellness issues. CJSF is currently operated by over 150 enthusiastic and creative volunteers from the campus and community. Volunteers can be found doing a variety of activities: hosting their own radio show, excavating the music archives, reporting from political and activist rallies, staging special music events, DJ'ing on the Pride Float, designing the awesome stickers, magnets, t-shirts, and posters you can pick up at the station yourself.
