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!

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
Hi everyone :0000 I’m Sandra and I’m currently heading into my fourth year in SIAT🧍♂️ As this year’s VP I’m excited to support my team, help plan some fun events, and continue building a welcoming student community outside of IATSU. When I’m not working, I love spontaneous hangouts, making comics about my friends, and adding books to my reading list that I will probably never get to 💩 I’m always open to chat so feel free to reach out or say hi if you ever see me!
Hellooo! My name is Zariyan, and this year I will be your SFSS Council Representative! I'm a BSc Joint Major with Business who is currently entering his third year. If y'all have no idea what my position is, don't worry, I don't judge... My job is to act as the bridge between IATSU and the SFSS. This means I attend council meetings and FIGHT for event funding! When I am not doing school stuff, you'll find me listening to all kinds of music (fav artists are ODESZA, Japanese Breakfast, The Smiths, Aaroh, etc. etc.), staying up-to-date with politics, reading, tinkering with electronics, going on hikes, playing video games and SO MUCH MORE! You can find me on Discord: zariyan or Instagram: @zariyan_
Hey everyone! I’m Sylvia, a 4+year SIAT student concentrating in Design (with a soft spot for interactive tech). As your Treasurer, I turn coffee ☕ and colour-coded spreadsheets into the budgets that keep IATSU events fun and affordable—think grant hunting, expense tracking, and gently asking, “Do we really need a smoke machine for karaoke night?” Outside of school, I enjoy playing volleyball, badminton, and drawing. If you ever want to reach out, my Instagram is @sylvia_ssschi and my Discord is sylviasq!
Hi everyone! My name is Tae and I’m this years IATSU director of communication design! I’m currently a 3rd year heading into 4th year at SIAT concentrating in designing interactions. My interests lie in the sections of ux design, visual design, and branding. Basically, I just enjoy making things feel and look cool. I love the SIAT community and I want to make sure the visual and digital assets reflect its values correctly. Outside of school and design, you can find me playing volleyball, beating my friends in smash, or listening to tyler the creator! Feel free to message me on instagram @taekimaway if you have any questions or just wanna be friends, I promise I’m open to talking to new people 🤩
Hi! I’m Rebecca one of your 2024-2025 director of events. I am currently am currently a 2nd year going into my 3rd year with a BSc in SIAT. As one of your events directors I am looking forward to producing fun and exciting events for everyone to enjoy! On the side, you can find me going on long walks, baking bread, or probably at my job (a girl has sweet treats to fund).

HELLO!! I'm Keyaan, and I'm one half of your 2025-2026 IATSU Event's team. I'm also a 4th year in student joint majoring in both SIAT and Beedie (yuck). My goal in life is to make as many silly and goofy animations as I can... and hopefully get paid for doing them ;)
I like going on fun side quests whether related to career or school, and I'm always down to talk about them, or answer any other questions through discord (Keyoo65) or on instagram @keyaanvegdani. You can also catch me listening to 200 Keshi songs in one week, thinking about how the Night Changes, and dreaming of going back to when Avengers: Endgame was first released. Cheers!
Heyyy! My name is Stephanie and I am this year’s director of web + social media. I am currently heading into my 3rd year in SIAT!! I hope to pursue product design/cad type stuff as well as some visual design:) Overall I hope to make some fun tiktoks and make our social media pages more interactive. A fun fact is that most my money is spent on blind boxes, stress balls, jellycats and food… so if you ever want to talk about anything in that realm lmk. I love listening to R&B type of music, my favourite singer being SZAAAA!

Hey all! I’m Fernando, your 2025–2026 TV Lead and a 3rd-year SIAT student. I love making stuff, from illustrations to music production, I've spent too much time hunched over a computer learning how I can make software mirror what I see and hear in my head (it's getting there).I aim to always do too much when it comes to making stuff I love. Big fan of dumb TV dramas, mind-bending movies, alt music, and dinosaurs.
