A message from Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences' Dean Jane Pulkingham:

Congratulations on completing your degree and becoming an SFU graduate! I recognize the hard work and dedication this has taken.  

Do not to be daunted by the future. Remember the scope of human resiliency; in the face of great social upheaval are opportunities for positive social change.

Help people, your loved ones and the communities around you. They need your energy and inventiveness.

As a member of SFU’s alumni, you now belong to an inspiring group of people working for societal improvement locally and around the world.

I wish you a bright future and many fulfilling accomplishments.
