polar plunge

2002 | 2000 | 1999 | 1998 | 1997 | 1996

Ah, Polar Plunge! Early each year, when the SFU Reflection Pond is bone-chillingly cold, our engineers flock in huge numbers on a Friday to surround it. Garbed in ridiculous attire, we line up by the just-thawing icy waters (but not before we parade around school in our costumes). One by one, two members toss us in!

It's not a natural urge to want to do this, but it's for charity. Each year, we collect donations for the Variety Club of British Columbia from SFU students. The plungee (student or faculty) sets an amount of money they want raised under their name and when we reach that goal, into the freezing pond they go! For charity, we endure the cold (and the colds)! The EUSS then presents a cheque for the raised amount to the Variety Club Show of Hearts. Over the last 12 years we've raised over $16 000!!!




An unlucky engineer takes the plunge!
