Andrew Petter, President and Vice-Chancellor
Message from the President
Over its nearly 50-year history, Simon Fraser University has been characterized by its adventurous spirit, openness, and willingness to embrace bold initiatives. SFU’s unique educational programs, inspired research, and vibrant community relations have set it apart from other universities – in B.C. and in Canada. Now, we have captured that distinctiveness in a strategic vision 
that builds on these strengths and sets the stage for even greater accomplishments.
