In an effort to bridge the gap between the two campuses, sixteen members of SFU’s Student Marketing Association set out on a never done before on-foot trek to SFU Surrey Campus from SFU Burnaby Campus.
Taking their first steps at 10am, SMA members crossed in total of four municipalities, which included Burnaby, Coquitlam, New Westminster, and Surrey. With great enthusiasm and optimism, the group arrived at their destination five minutes ahead of schedule at 4:25pm.
Throughout the 6-hour journey to SFU Surrey, spirits remained high and everyone felt proud and accomplished when the last step to reach the Surrey Campus was taken.
Check out the videos below to see the fun moments and obstacles SMA faced during the trek to Surrey.

Have you ever felt the great distance and the lack of unity between the SFU Surrey campus and the Burnaby campus? Have you always wished that someone would step up to fix the gap between the two campuses and make SFU fully united? Well, your wish just might come true!
On Wednesday, June 30th, 2010, Simon Fraser University’s Student Marketing Association (SMA) will embark in a never before done trek on foot to bridge the gap between the campuses of SFU Burnaby and SFU Surrey.
