About Us
University is a life experience that extends far beyond the classroom, lab or workshop. Working with and for UFV students, the Student Life department (located in
University House) aims to build a vibrant campus through many student driven initiatives.
Student Life has been successful in reaching our goals over 2010/2011 by orienting over 1,280 students through New Student Orientation, welcoming back 2,000 students at Welcome Back events, assisting over 60 active student clubs & associations each term, providing leadership training and conferences to over 100 students through our Leadership Institute, recognizing over 50 student volunteers and leaders, offering Campus Recreation and Intramural programs to over 280 students, organizing and supporting over 120 campus events, arranging Food Hamper services and the Angel Tree program to UFV students in need and hosting thousands of students in our student lounge, kitchen, and student meeting space.
