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.

Now, we have captured that distinctiveness in a strategic vision that builds on these strengths and sets the stage for even greater accomplishments.
