SFU's Computing Science Student Society

Greetings,
It is I. As in "I'm the best." 😎
It is also I as in...

I would like to announce that 🔥 The CSSS's Bi-Weekly Board Games Night is BACK!!! 🔥
The first will be this Friday, Sept. 22, from 05:00-08:30 PM @ TASC1 9204.

There will be lots of board games, TONS of pizza 🍕 and pop! ⚡

Now we need to have a serious chat...

You've heard people say that "the pen is mightier than the sword," right?

...well, I'll let you in on a little secret. The microphone is even mightier than the pen! 🎤 > ✏

that's why (using hyper-logic) WE'RE HAVING KARAOKE in BGN!!!

So join us, bring your friends (whether they're in CS or not! all are welcome), for we shall be singing long into the night, so that the stars and galaxies far away can hear us too (I'm 1000% sure they heard me singing "Hey Jude!" last Spring, I can still hear it at night 💀)
