The Faculty of Applied Sciences (FAS) has identified student health and wellness as a key priority. We recognize the importance of gaining feedback from graduate students to better shape our efforts in supporting all FAS graduate students. As a result, this voluntary and anonymous survey was developed to identify and understand factors affecting graduate students’ health and wellness. This information will help each School identify specific programs and resources that would benefit their respective students’ health, wellness, and overall academic experience. The survey will take approximately 10 minutes of your time to complete. Please note that you may only submit your survey response once. You are welcome to consider your experiences as they have been affected by the COVID-19 Pandemic. After completing the survey, students will have the opportunity to submit one entry into a draw to win one of ten $20 Amazon gift cards. If you have any questions or feedback regarding the survey, please contact Wen Dee Wong, Faculty of Applied Sciences’ Graduate Program Coordinator at fas_grad_coordinator@sfu.ca

The following questions will focus on the seven interacting dimension of wellness identified by SFU Health Promotion (Health & Counselling).
