Our vision? To be a hub where life-long learning, community-engagement, arts and culture, innovation and entrepreneur...ship intersect and thrive to provide solutions to local, regional, national and global matters.
The Mission of Simon Fraser University is to be the leading engaged university, defined by its dynamic integration of innovative education, cutting-edge research, and far-reaching community engagement. Reflecting that mission and contextualizing it within its downtown setting, SFU Vancouver"s mission is to enhance its status as a dynamic, engaged and accessible urban university campus.
SFU’s Vancouver campus continues to play a crucial role in the intellectual, civic, cultural, economic and social development of the city"s urban core. The Vancouver campus is the university"s locus of engagement with the downtown community through impactful research, innovative programs for undergrads, grads and working professionals, hundreds of public seminars and performances, and multiple forms of deep community engagement.
There is growing recognition that universities play an indispensable role in improving society through innovation, knowledge mobility, cutting-edge research and deep and meaningful community engagement.
