The 51ÁÔÆæÈë¿ÚAlumni Council exemplifies how our graduates bring their diverse professional expertise, lived experiences, and leadership to influence and support SFU’s strategic initiatives.

We are currently accepting nominations from our alumni to join the Council. All nominees should bring their unique professional and lived experiences, strong governance expertise, and robust community/industry ties to serve in these dynamic volunteer roles.
