To my joy there were four replies within the first hour, and about another ten that day. Everyone was quite willing to help. Even if this were an isolated incident I would have been proud to call myself an SFU engineer.

But nothing could be farther from the truth. It is difficult to make it from one end of the pit to the other without noticing one student helping another. Even at two o'clock in the morning help is often only a few steps away.

This is what separates us from other faculties. Here in engineering everyone is on the same team.

Lately school spirit has been brought in to question. And while it is true, that there is less cheering about SFU Engineering than there once was, a more silent pride in who we are still exists. It is by tapping into this pride, and bringing it to the surface that he energetic school spirit that was once here has already begun to return. I am confident that soon we will reach the level of enthusiasm we once had.
