Reflecting on 2024

2024 marked another year of incredible milestones for SFU—and we could not have achieved any of this without our steadfast donors, alumni and friends.

Thanks to our supporters, nearly 40 new scholarships, bursaries and awards were created to ensure Â鶹ÊÓƵstudents can pursue their dreams. We also cheered on thousands of new Â鶹ÊÓƵgraduands who have since joined our global network of over 200,000 proud alumni spanning 145+ countries. 

Â鶹ÊÓƵREADS | OUR NEXT BOOK

Join us in reading Pulitzer Prize-winning-author Geraldine Brooks' novel, Horse, based on a remarkable true story. The reading period is January 3 - February 21.

Â鶹ÊÓƵReads is our virtual book club that gives you the opportunity to connect with alumni from around the world while discovering new books! There is no cost to join. All you need is the book and some reading time.
