51ÉçÇøºÚÁÏ

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 51ÉçÇøºÚÁÏstudents can pursue their dreams. We also cheered on thousands of new 51ÉçÇøºÚÁÏgraduands who have since joined our global network of over 200,000 proud alumni spanning 145+ countries. 

51ÉçÇøºÚÁÏREADS | OUR NEXT BOOK
