What is IATSU? We are the student body of the School of Interactive Arts and Technology at Simon Fraser University. Beyond that, IATSU is a group of students that are passionate about improving not only their department, but the community within it.
If you are taking a course within SIAT, you are automatically part of IATSU! We (the IATSU Executive Committee) are an elected group dedicated to providing opportunities and events for SIAT students to grow, engage with one another, and get the most out of their academic careers. We organize amazing events like the annual SIAT Frosh, the FCAT Formal and so much more! The SIAT community is our top priority and we strive to connect with you to make your university experience that much more fun!
IATSU's HISTORY
Hey! I’m Joseph, and I’m a third-year heading into fourth-year concentrating in Design. As your IATSU President, my goal this year is to strengthen SIAT’s community and work closely with IATSU to create an engaging and welcoming space through our events and serve as a representative for the student voice. When I’m not taking naps in Studio B, I’m enjoying concerts (mainly alternative rock, indie, and pop), jamming on the keys or guitar, or taking photos on my digicam. Feel free to reach out to me on Discord jphxh or on Instagram @josephle_ee or say hi in person (Bear with me as I have awful vision and don’t wear my glasses 90% of the time)! I’m excited for the year ahead and to represent the student body!
Hihi y'all, my name is Emily (I also go by Emem) and I'm currently going into my 4th year in SIAT, concentrating in Design. As your Vice-President I hope to strengthen the structure of IATSU internally while balancing student's voices alongside ongoing changes within the program. Outside of IATSU I love going to metalcore concerts (my top bands: ERRA, Bad Omens, I See Stars, Invent Animate, Thornhill, Make Them Suffer, Sleep Token, Spiritbox, Novelists, Aphasia... with special mention HEALTH). I also like cafe hopping, thrifting, sketching, watching thriller/indie horror movies, and collecting stickers/prints/candles!! Hit me up if we share the same metalcore faves or if you'd like to see a certain change during our IATSU year... my Instagram is @emem_xu and my Discord is ememxx :)
Hi everyone, my name is Caleb Wu, and I'm your SFSS Council Representative! I'm a Bachelor of arts currently in my third year. My job is to connect with yall SFSS. When I'm not working on projects, you can find me mindlessly playing minecraft (I'm a child at heart), drawing on illustrator with a mouse (not a pen or touchpad, yes I know its unconventional) or just zoning out while listening to music. I LOVE pop and r&b, and rock, annnd like all things music :> I'm super open, and if you have any questions, or just want to chat, you can hmu on discord cubbage., or instagram @calebwu
Hii!! My name is Areeba and I am the treasurer for this year's IATSU team! That means I get to keep track of funding to make sure we have money to run the fun activities our Directors of Events plan. I’m in my fourth year in SIAT concentrating in Design, and on the side, I run a small jewelry business. Some of my hobbies are occasionally crocheting, baking, reading and spending a lot of money on food and beads (unfortunately). I also have an ungodly large sticker collection…. Feel free to say hi if you see me in person or reach me on Discord @ .areeba or instagram @arib.a_
Hello Hello! I’m Caleb (Tsui), a third-year SIAT student pursuing a Bachelor of Science with a concentration in Design. As your Director of Communication Design, I am here to create some engaging graphics and bring some humour to the IAT community :DD When I'm not online, you’ll find me catching the Zzz, being a soft weeb, or planning my next trip on a 14-page Google doc. If you see me, feel free to say hi (I may have a RBF but I don’t bite)! Just look for a brown or blue EMIS hat :)) I am wearing a hat 95% of the time.
Hi everyone! My name is Lauryn and I’m a 4th year SIAT student concentrating in design. As one of your Directors of Events this year, I hope to plan fun events where people can connect, share their interests and be creative together! When I’m not grinding out projects, I love to bake, read, and go thrifting. And because I’m just a girl, I’m a sweet-treat connoisseur, so I love going to cafes, specifically to get matcha lattes LOL. Although recently I’ve been learning to make them at home… ‘Cuz it’s cheaper. If you ever want to reach out, my Instagram is @lauryaau_ and my Discord is lauryny! I look forward to working together :))
Haiii! My name is Isabella Lian, I'm a 3rd year SIAT student and one half of this year's Director of Events. I'm super excited to plan more events that allow SIAT students to connect and get to know each other outside of just the classroom! Some things about me is that I enjoy partaking in laying down, watching anime, thrifting, playing Genshin Impact (sadly), and collecting trinkets. I do love me a good trinket. If you ever see me around, don't hesitate to say hello! I'm always down to grab a coffee or partake in the devil's lettuce if that's more of your vibe. Feel free to reach out to me on Instagram or Discord @isabellalian_
Hi everyone!! I’m Clarisse and I am a third year SIAT student hoping to concentrate in design. As web and social media director, I will be managing all of IATSU’s social accounts and updating this website. Other than attempting to be a designer, I am an impulsive traveller, bookworm, dancer and I just live a fun little creative life :D I can’t wait to connect with more of you and get everyone involved in the SIAT community!!

Hi hi !! My name is Den and I'm your current (and favourite) IAT-ONE rep! I'm in charge of hosting FROSH 2024 and representing all the upcoming pesky first years that will rightfully find their place in the SIAT program. I like farming simulator games and rom coms but I also enjoy good YouTube horror media when it comes down to it. Feel free to say hi to me whenever and I'll probably respond if I'm not zoning out 👍 If you're lucky you might even get a little treat! You never know though, it's like gambling, but better !! (For legal purposes, Den of IATSU does not endorse gambling in any shape or form)
