Celebrating 5 years of CERi!

Celebrate five years of impact with the Community-Engaged Research Initiative (CERi)!

We invite you to an evening of connection, conversation, and appreciation for the many community partners, researchers, and students who have been part of our story.

As we gather to celebrate five years of impact with the Community-Engaged Research Initiative (CERi), we also take this moment to reflect on the journey that brought us here.

Since our founding in 2019, CERi has grown into a vibrant hub for community-engaged research at SFU — a place where students, faculty, and community partners come together to co-create knowledge that makes a real difference. Over the past five years, we’ve launched innovative programs, supported transformative projects, and deepened relationships across communities, campuses, and sectors.

Our 5-Year Report highlights the people, partnerships, and ideas that have shaped CERi’s story — from grassroots collaborations to research that informs change on local and global levels. It’s a reflection of what we’ve accomplished together, and an invitation to imagine what’s next.

Join us in celebrating this milestone by exploring the report and revisiting the many ways community-engaged research continues to grow and inspire.
