Alumni

It goes without saying that much of our work would not be possible without the generosity of our donors, friends, alumni and community partners. That’s why this year, we hosted our inaugural Leaders Lifting Leaders event—yet another first of what will be an annual celebration—to connect students and the remarkable donors who support them through vital scholarships, awards and bursaries.

Everywhere we turn, life is getting more expensive—food costs continue to rise, rents are the highest we’ve ever seen. For university students, many of whom are already living on a shoestring budget, it’s a daily struggle to make ends meet.

Congratulations to SFU alumni Jeanette Jackson and Dr. Karen Tee, along with Ginger Gosnell-Meyers—the first Indigenous Fellow with the SFU Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue—who were named as YWCA Women of Distinction during the 40th annual Women of Distinction Awards.

Ian and Yvonne Reddy are committed to giving back and shaping a better society. A dynamic and philanthropic couple, they are passionate about making a positive impact in the world through education and environmental sustainability.
