Claudia Hart
FASS Academic Advisor
I am thrilled to be joining the FASS advising team! A little bit about me: I am a sports-lover, avid reader, and proud 51ÉçÇøºÚÁÏgraduate! As a former student-athlete here at SFU, I understand the many commitments university students have. I am here to help you along your journey whether it is with course planning, time management skills, or guiding you through any challenges you may face.

Colin Schuler Ram
FASS Academic Advisor
I am the academic advisor for the new and exciting and programs, along with general FASS. I'm an 51ÉçÇøºÚÁÏalumnus in Criminology and Political Science, passionate about supporting students throughout their academic journey. I was actively involved as a student; I led the , served as a , and helped run both the and , which I founded. I've since worked across campus from facilitating programs, to student recruitment, engagement, and advising.
Outside from work, I'm a devoted music fan. You’ll find me at many local concerts, especially metal ones! I also cycle regularly for both leisure and commuting, so you may spot me around town on my bike.
University can be overwhelming, but you’re not alone. I’m here to help—feel free to reach out anytime 🙂

Emilia Aguilar
FASS Academic Advisor
University will be one of the best experiences of your life! My top 5 favorite things about undergrad were:
- Meeting people from all around the world and building life-long friendships with them.
- Learning about new subjects, ideas, and topics I never even knew existed.
- Being able to pursue my passions and discovering new ones along the way.
- Joining clubs and collectives with people who had similar interests to mine.
- Volunteering!
I’m more than happy to assist you academically through this exciting journey!

Wendy Szeto
FASS Academic Advisor
Welcome to the Fall term, new and returning students! As a new 51ÉçÇøºÚÁÏstudent, it can be quite nerve wracking, but I promise you that there’s light at the end of the tunnel.
I had so many expectations in my first year that I had to learn how to take a step back, look at the bigger picture and ask questions. So, feel free to come have a chat, book a Zoom session or even just stop me in the hallway when you see me on campus with my kids!
I'm excited to meet you and be part of your journey here at SFU!
