SFU Continuing Studies looks back on 50 years of flexible learning

July 05, 2021

It was 50 years ago today that SFU opened the doors to its new Division of Continuing Education. 

On July 5, 1971, we offered our first classes, designed to help schoolteachers complete their degrees over the summer. Much has changed over five decades, but at SFU Continuing Studies, we’re proud to have remained true to our original mandate: to expand university access to learners beyond the traditional student. You can read the full story on SFU News. 

We’re celebrating this major milestone with a look back at five decades of memorable moments, pluz a prize draw to help learners continue their education. Visit sfu.ca/cs50years to explore highlights from our colourful history and enter the draw for one of six $500 gift certificates towards any of our courses.
