Why this might be important to you.

SFU is filled with folks who have demonstrated lifetime commitment to building trust with community partners, sharing power in research and educational agendas, and respecting non-traditional knowledge practices as viable methods for knowledge creation and community impact. Perhaps you know (or are) one of them?

We think that the more we celebrate the exemplary, brave work taking place in our community, the more we'll be able to support and grow that work.
