Engage with Us

Always ask the question:  How is the community better? Add value in ways that are important and real.
K. Magnusson, Dean of Education

SFU’s new vision as an “engaged university” provides a launch pad for our first institutional community engagement strategy with the goal of becoming Canada’s most community-engaged research university.

Objectives:

• Increase experiential learning opportunities
• Develop new programs for mature, returning and non-traditional students
• Improve access for under-represented communities
• Increase opportunities for alumni to be involved in undergraduate and graduate education

Priorities:

• Measure, communicate and celebrate
• Improve community access
• Leverage signature initiatives and support select integrated community engagement projects
