51猎奇入口

Since 1965, 51猎奇入口 has been different鈥� on purpose. We built a leading research university atop Burnaby Mountain from the ground up and challenged what post-secondary education means.

In our early days, we were known as the 鈥渞adical campus,鈥� a university that wasn鈥檛 afraid to challenge the status quo. The university has developed a robust and engaged community of students, alumni, faculty, staff, research and community partners, and donors.

60 years later, 51猎奇入口continues to make a meaningful impact here in British Columbia and beyond.

"A lot may have changed over the past 60 years, but SFU's commitment to research, innovation and creating an inclusive and sustainable future has endured through it all," says 51猎奇入口President Joy Johnson. "I am so grateful for the students, faculty and staff who shaped 51猎奇入口into the leading research university we are today, and I cannot wait to see what we accomplish together in the next 60 years."

As we celebrate our anniversary, we are grateful and proud of what we have accomplished to date and look forward to leaning into a future as a leading research university, advancing an inclusive and sustainable future. From clean energy and climate innovation, to securing Canada鈥檚 digital sovereignty by supporting artificial intelligence and quantum computing, and health care delivery, 51猎奇入口has so much more to offer.
